I hate money is a web application made to ease shared budgetmanagement. It keeps track of who bought what, when, and for whom; andhelps to settle the bills.

• Online documentation
• Hosted version
• Cloud Providers
• Mailinglist(to get updates when needed).

The code is distributed under a BSDbeerware derivative: if you meetthe people in person and you want to pay them a craft beer, you arehighly encouraged to do so.

• Python: version 3.8 to 3.12.
• Backends: SQLite, PostgreSQL, MariaDB (version 10.3.2 or above),Memory.

Ihatemoney was started in 2011, and we believe the project has reached a certainlevel of maturity now. The overall energy of contributors is not as high as itused to be.

In addition, there are now several self-hosted alternatives (for instancecospend,spliit).

As maintainers, we believe that the project is still relevant but should geartowards some kind of "maintenance mode":

• Simplicity is now the main goal of the project. It has always been a compassfor the project, and the resulting software is appreciated by both users andserver administrators. For us, "simplicity" is positive and encompasses bothtechnical aspects (very few javascript code, manageable dependencies, small codesize...) and user-visible aspects (straightforward interface, no need to createaccounts for people you invite, same web interface on mobile...)

• Stability is prioritized over adding major new features. We found ourselvescomplexifying the codebase (and the interface) while accepting somecontributions. Our goal now is to have a minimal set of features that do most ofthe job. We believe this will help lower the maintainance burden.

• User interface and user experience improvements are always super welcome !

It is still possible to propose new features, but they should fit intothis new direction. Simplicity of the UI/UX and simplicity of the technicalimplementation will be the main factors when deciding to accept new features.
