seven23.io has a new coat of paint. The marketing site was rebuilt this month - layout, copy, and this blog, which now lives on the same site instead of a separate project. A lot of that work was done with AI in the loop: faster to try ideas, easier to keep the pages consistent.
The product itself has not changed its mind. Seven23 is still a fully manual budget app. I still open it every day. That has been true since 2011, and it is still the tool I trust with my own numbers.
What this means for the project
The site, the app, and the server did not get much attention for a few years. I never stopped using Seven23, but I also did not ship much. That is changing - not because I suddenly have more hours, but because AI makes it realistic to try improvements in small windows of time.
I will keep maintaining Seven23: bug fixes, dependency updates, the encrypted hosted option, and, I hope, a few upgrades when the opportunity is there. The project stays open source, still MIT, still there.
If something is broken, the bug tracker is still the right place.
