idea: Add Customizable Dashboard for Personalized Financial Overview

Describe the problem

MyFinances lacks a customizable dashboard that allows users to tailor their financial overview by selecting and arranging widgets (e.g., budget summary, recent transactions, upcoming bills). Currently, the dashboard is static, displaying a fixed set of information that may not suit all users’ needs. This limits the application’s flexibility and user engagement, as users cannot prioritize the data most relevant to them. A customizable dashboard would enhance user experience by providing a personalized, at-a-glance view of their financial data, aligning with MyFinances’ goal of streamlined financial management ().

Proposed Solution

Implement a customizable dashboard where users can:

Add, remove, or rearrange widgets (e.g., budget overview, transaction history, bill reminders, savings goals).

Save their dashboard configuration to their user profile.

Reset to a default layout if desired.

Ensure the dashboard is responsive and accessible, using Tailwind CSS and DaisyUI for styling and JavaScript for dynamic functionality.

Hi 👋,

I’d like to contribute to this feature! The idea of a customizable dashboard with draggable/arrangeable widgets sounds exciting and would improve usability a lot.

To get started, could you please guide me on:

• The preferred approach for implementing widget customization (e.g., using a drag-and-drop library or a custom implementation)?
• Whether you already have a data model in mind for saving the user’s widget layout in their profile.
• Any existing components or guidelines I should follow (since the project uses Tailwind CSS + DaisyUI)?

I’m still fairly new to contributing, so I’d be happy to begin with smaller subtasks (like building a prototype widget or handling layout saving) and iterate from there.

Thanks for maintaining this awesome project—I’m looking forward to contributing! 🚀
