Hello! Thanks for this neat app :-) I have just none hurdle before I can really use it as I would like to.
Is there are specific reason why MyExpenses and every other personal finance tool I tried so far provide categories (and hierarchical subcategories) instead of tags/labels like for example GMail does. Hierarchy can still be mapped with nested labels and they offer the IMHO huge advantage of being able to apply several tags to one expense.
Use case example: In addition to generally tracking expenses for food, maybe one wants to break that whole chunk down into nutrition types (dairy, meat, fish etc.) or place of purchase (market vs. mall) or even brands.
Another example: travel expenses occur within different contexts (commuting, leisure time, business travel etc.). Being able to apply specific tags for that not only to these expenses, but also to others that occur in the context of it would IMHO be very helpful.
@mtotschnig I noticed in #85 that you already use a bounty system. If you consider a tag/label feature worthwhile, what would be an appropriate bounty?
