Starting from this post, I’ll be documenting the journey of building a personal finance tracker, beginning with the backend setup. In this first phase, I’ve focused on establishing the backend using TypeScript, Node.js, Express, and MongoDB. As I move forward, I’ll continue sharing my progress, challenges, and insights as I expand the app with more features and eventually move on to the frontend. Stay tuned for more updates!

Some days, I’m in need of some comfort. I’m tired, emotionally drained, or just feeling besieged by the world. On these days, I try to recognize my physical, mental and emotional state, and I ask myself what I need.
