A working answer to a difficult question..
A terminal interface for personal finance tracking, built with Textual, SQLite, and Pydantic. The work began as a focused response to a real constraint: make a complex idea easier to use, inspect, and trust.
I treated Cacheflow as a system rather than a single surface, giving the underlying logic a visible rhythm through clear states, deliberate boundaries, and small moments of feedback.
A practical experiment with a point of view. The result is an ongoing signal in the archive: useful enough to run, opinionated enough to remember.
