Julien Veyssier, the contributor behind the Nextcloud PhoneTrack app had started adapting to Java\/Android programming, and he was looking for a new contribution to bring to the project. That&#8217;s where he thought of IHateMoney, an app he had been using for years to manage shared expenses with his housemates.<\/p>\n<p>He was &#8220;almost&#8221; fine with IHateMoney, until their public instance crashed, and his data was lost. It was time for a self-hosted IHateMoney instance, followed by an attempt to build MoneyBuster, an IHateMoney client for Android. And that&#8217;s where it became an evidence: wouldn&#8217;t it be better to have a similar Nextcloud app? An app that would provide the same API so it would be compatible with MoneyBuster?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5637\" src=\"https:\/\/nextcloud.com\/media\/cospend.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1914\" height=\"944\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/apps.nextcloud.com\/apps\/cospend\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cospend<\/a> was born: a tool to keep track of common expenses for groups of people. Who spent what for whom is the basic question that it answers. With features &#8211; much more than on its inspiration IHateMoney &#8211; like recurring bills, the possibility to link Nextcloud files to bills, and many more options. After a few struggles with the web user interface, Julien &#8220;happily followed Nextcloud design guidelines&#8221;, and quickly became satisfied with the result he obtained. One feature he is particularly happy about: It is possible to access a Cospend project without having a Nextcloud account, making it easier for a Nextcloud user to share the content of the app with their friends, in order to include everyone.<\/p>\n<p>While the app is already fully functional, many improvements are already on their way. Besides testing and &#8220;improving this and that&#8221;, features like QR codes can be expected in the future: &#8220;I&#8217;d like to make it simpler to &#8220;add&#8221; a project in MoneyBuster. I&#8217;ll make it possible to add a project just by &#8220;clicking&#8221; on a URL looking like cospend:\/\/my.nextcloud.org\/daproject\/dapasswd. I&#8217;ll probably also add project-QRCode generation to Cospend which would contain such URL. It would be nice to be able to generate such QRCode from MoneyBuster too, to share a project from one phone to another.&#8221; And there&#8217;s still space for input and new ideas: &#8220;I hope we&#8217;ll see good ideas emerging from users.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The benefits to creating an app in Nextcloud, instead of pursuing his initial project? Building Cospend on the Nextcloud foundation didn&#8217;t only allow him to benefit from the Nextcloud ecosystem, but also to &#8220;kick the ass (pardon my French) of privacy-unfriendly centralized services providing similar features&#8221;, says Julien. And of course, Nextcloud has more to offer for the future of the project: &#8220;I&#8217;d like to learn more about how federation between Nextcloud instances work to make it happen in Cospend. It would be great to be able to share a project across NC instances.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Julien particularly insists on the benefits of building software in an\u00a0 open source, active an welcoming community: &#8220;I would like to thank everyone participating in Nextcloud, the core team which makes a huge effort to document app development aspects, the communication team which makes the community a nice place to be in, the design team which helps developers to make nice interfaces&#8230; Cospend is the result of their work too.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>And he finishes: &#8220;In conclusion I made the app because I felt there was something missing and it would fit perfectly in Nextcloud. Another bit in the Nextcloud ecosystem.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It started when he asked himself which apps were missing for him in Nextcloud.
