Blog des developpeurs de Gobseck

Some of you have waited for this improvement, but it was worth it ! Now, Gobseck handles periodic transactions.


Here is a list of the new functionalities :

1) You can choose to set a periodic transaction (incoming, outcoming,transfer or balance adjustement) either:
- every day, or one day in x
- every week, or one week in x, choosing of course which day(s) of the week
- every month, or one month in x, choosing of course which day(s) of the week
- and neverending or ending at a certain date



2) You can also set a reminder to receive a memo in your mail box (to remind to you actually do the transaction at your bank for example)
3) You can now visualize the transactions to come, including the next periodic transaction if you sort your transactions by date.

4) You can edit a transaction, a transfer or a balance adjustment and turn it into a periodic event.

5) When deleting a occurrence of a periodic transaction, you choose either to delete just this one occurrence or all upoming events.

Je viens de me rendre compte que lorsque l'on dupliquait une opération contenant des ventilations, les ventilations n'étaient pas dupliquées... Voilà qui est corrigé.

C'est sur le Site du Zér0

2 minor functions have been recently added to Gobseck :

Thanks to our collaboration with new beta-testers we have been able to solve some problems and most of all to really optimize the portal.
Even if there still remains many functionalities to be implemented, Gobseck is now perfectly usable, secure and stable (at least with Firefow, Safari and IE7.)

That is why we decided to add 10 invititations for the beta-testers to distribute, so that they can enable their circle to enjoy Gobseck if they wish to.

Moreover, this is addressed to the bloggers who were kind enough to register and try out Gobseck: if you have readers interested in 2.0 web who might be interested in an online and free portal to manage their finances, and you wish to distribute some more invitations, feel free to contact us at and tell us how many invitations you would need.

Please keep addressing us your remarks (positive or negative) and suggestions.

Grâce à la collaboration de nouveaux béta-testeurs (merci en passant à Vincent Abry, Blain-lab, Eric Duplin de Presse-citron et Jean-Marie Delahais d'avoir parlé de Gobseck sur leur Blog car cela nous a permis de recruter de nouveaux béta-testeurs super motivés, plein d'idées et très compréhensifs) nous avons pu résoudre un certain nombre de problèmes et surtout optimiser considérablement le portail.

Même si il y a encore de nombreuses fonctions qui seront implémentées au fur et à mesure, Gobseck est désormais tout à fait fonctionnel, sécurisé et stable (tout du moins sur Firefox, Safari, et IE7).

A ce titre nous rajoutons 10 invitations à tous les béta-testeurs, afin qu'ils puissent si ils le souhaitent en faire profiter leur entourage.

De plus, à l'attention des blogueurs qui ont eu la gentillesse de s'inscrire et de tester le service : Si vous avez un auditoire orienté web 2.0 susceptible d'être intéressé par un portail de gestion de finances en ligne et gratuit, et que vous souhaitez distribuer un peu plus d'invitations via votre blog, contactez-nous à l'adresse contact@gobseck.com avec le nombre d'invitations dont vous auriez besoin à peu près.

Et surtout, continuez à nous faire remonter vos demandes, critiques et suggestions.

Lorsque vous éditez une opération, l'autocomplétion désormais fonctionne. Vous pouvez cliquer sur l'icone correspondant au champ pour voir la liste de toutes les suggestions, ou bien commencer à tapper quelques lettres pour compléter automatiquement le champ.

De la même manière, l'autocomplétion fonctionne maintenant aussi lorsque vous ventilez une opération


De plus, j'ai appliqué la compression et la mise en cache des données renvoyées par la requête AJAX concernant les autocompletions. On passe donc de requêtes de 5Ko à des requêtes < à 1Ko, qui en plus sont mises en cache par votre navigateur afin d'accélérer encore le temps de réponse.

Enfin, lorsque vous passez la souris au-dessus d'un tag du nuage de Tags, les lignes du tableau des opérations contenant ce tag changent automatiquement de couleur.

You can now modify your accounts, add some new ones or delete existing ones.

You'll notice you can change the currency for your accounts, and that Gobseck will ask you whether you want to convert all the existing transactions of your account using the current rate of exchange ! But don't use this function for the same account too often for the moment because you might have some rounding up mistakes if you convert you transaction two times in a row (199,99$ instead of 200$).

A mobile version of Gobseck is being developped. Here is a short list of the functionalities already available:

• Add transactions
• Check accounts balance
  

Oh I was forgetting a useful detail - for the most curious: you can reach it using this address: m.gobseck.com

Arnaud ZELER (Nonotte)
I am a med student – I know this is uncommon – and my life is divided between my internship at the hospital in the morning (remember Carter in Emergency, season one), my courses in the afternoon and the evening training conferences to prepare the examination to become a resident – but let’s leave these details aside.

What I am really keen on, besides my studies, is making websites. I’ve been doing this for 5 years. I am a perfect self-taught guy. I started doing some icky html, just like every beginner, then some php, icky as well, and then as time went on, I found a passion for php, and I am quite proud to say that I get along well with this language. ;-).

These last years, I made a website in 2002 for the med students association in Nancy(not online anymore but it looked like that), the website for the union of the IMG in Lorraine, and more recently some other I am rather proud of: one for the association of the non-residents med students of Nancy (Association des Externes de Nancy (http://www.ecn.asso.fr) and one for the Tutorat de Toulouse (http://www.tutoweb.org). There are many other, but enough with the CV already.

Stéphanie BAPST (Boubinette)
I live with this Junior student, who studies English at the university.
As every woman deserving this title, she dedicates a good deal of her time to managing her money.
The problem is that as I made her switch from Windows to Macintosh a year ago, and Microsoft Money does not exist on Mac, until now no accounting software has convinced her.
That is why in April 2006, following her advice and since so many new possibilities were then accessible with the new AJAX technology, I started to think about a data base enabling us to manage our money on our personal accounts and to share the administration of our joint account.

Although she does not code, she masters foreign languages and MacOSX tools.
So she is the team translator, and she will also take care of the after sales service, the user guide including screencast etc, but most of all she is my most faithful beta-tester, since she’s been using Gobseck to keep an eye on all of her accounts since the very beginning – and when something does not work, I sure know about it

Matthieu RENARD (Goupil)
In 2004 when he was still an ESSTIN student (engineer school), our ways crossed thanks to associative activities. We ended up very good friends, and he is the one who enabled me to master TCP/IP, WEP, Host, and all these unknown things an average med student does not know about.
Goupil finished off his engineer studies two years ago, and works now in a company in Paris (I don’t exactly understand what he does – too complicated for me), but anyway he knows his way about data bases, Oracle in particular (but MYSQL has no secrets for him of course), about Java and every coding language a computer engineer worthy of the title is supposed to know. He just has a slight problem with speling, but that’s no big deal.

In the first place Goupil joined our team as a consultant for server managing, and for complex requests to the data base, but when I published the 1st version of Gobseck online, I think he was smitten and now he is in charge of the development of the widgets in the Situation tab … and he has a bunch of ideas !

Just like us, he now manages his money with Gobseck, (I think he has imported his bank transactions of the last 3 years – way to go !)

The story of Gobseck
In April 2006 I first made a local application on the base of an old website in order to have a glimpse of what it could be like, the I showed it to some friends who told me they’d be interested too, but it is only in November 2006 that we really started developing the current version, the aim of which was to be published online and made available to every one who just like us needed an application to manage their finances (with everything it implied (security, encrypting etc)).

We develop Gobseck for pleasure in our spare time. We are trying to make this application look as professional as possible (and we are getting close), free for everyone, but our main motivation for the moment is the fact that we use it ourselves: I had never made my accounts before, and I can’t live without it anymore !

J'ai fait une petite vidéo de présentation rapide des fonctionnalités de Gobseck sur le conseil d'un des béta-testeurs

Bon, je suis quand même assez déçu de la qualité finale, une fois uploadé sur Dailymotion, mais bon c'était le plus simple pour faire au plus vite...

J'ai du suspendre toute activité Gobseckienne durant ces 3 dernières semaines pour cause de partiels.
Maintenant que les exams sont finis, un petit bilan s'impose...

Voilà, Gobseck est maintenant assez développé pour remplir les fonctions principales dont un utilisateur a besoin pour gérer ses comptes.

D'ici quelques jours, il sera également traduit en Anglais, voire même en Allemand/Espagnol.
Au fur et à mesure que de nouvelles fonctions apparaîtront, elles seront traduites, grâce à la coordination de notre fine équipe !

Je viens de découvrir le Blog d'un entrepreneur français, Stéphane Thomas, qui a fait le choix de faire partager toutes les étapes de la création de son futur nouveau web-service, loomiz.
Il nous fait vivre au jour le jour son expérience d'entrepreneur, et c'est quelque chose de très interessant lorsque, comme nous, nous avons une idée que personne d'autre n'a eu et que l'on essaie, avec nos pauvres moyens, de la réaliser... sans trop savoir où l'on va.

Mais en lisant ce genre de blog on se rend compte que l'on est pas seul !

Simple Entrepreneur : Création d'entreprise et web (design|développement) 2.0

Voilà le serveur est configuré pour fonctionner en php5 aussi bien qu'en php4 (enfin mieux en php5, mais le site est compatible avec les 2 versions) et avec le https.

Merci Goupil de sacrifier ton temps au boulot pour trouver les parametres et fonctions adéquates
