Hi everyone, I'm O'Dell Obrien Gapitar, the solo founder and developer behind Bajetier. To be honest, I never intended for this to be a big public launch. Bajetier started as a small side project during my college time in University of Malaya, which is a simple tool I built for myself because I couldn't find a budgeting app that worked for my brain. I just wanted a clean, straightforward way to track my own finances without all the clutter. Things got pretty quiet with Bajetier once I started working full-time. Honestly, development almost stopped completely. Work took over, and Bajetier just wasn't getting the attention it needed. It got pushed to the side, which was a shame. But, I still had all the ideas for it in my head, just waiting for the right time to pick it back up. But last year, my journey took an unexpected turn. I lost my job, and then, after finding a new one, I was laid off a second time. It was a really tough period, and it forced me to rely on my own skills to build a new path forward. That's when I decided to pour everything I have into Bajetier and turn it from a personal tool into a product that I hope can genuinely help others. My goal now is to build Bajetier into a sustainable business that can support me financially. It's the reason I'm so committed to making it the best it can be. As part of this launch, I’ve made a big decision: I've moved some of the best features that were previously in the paid plans, like increasing the limit of certain features by 4 times, and QuickSnaps receipt scanning feature (up to 15 snaps/month), into the Free plan, forever. I want the core of Bajetier to be incredibly generous and useful, whether you pay for it or not. I'm nervous and excited to be sharing this with you all today. As a one-person team, every piece of feedback, every suggestion, and every new user means the world to me. Please check it out and let me know what you think. I'll be here all day to answer every single question. Thank you for your support. – O'Dell Obrien Gapitar
