OVERVIEW
A minimalistic, highly-performant CLI utility built from the ground up in C for parsing and tracing cashflows directly in the terminal.
THE PROBLEM
Heavy GUI financial trackers are unnecessary for power users who live in the terminal. I wanted a lightning-fast, zero-dependency tool that executed instantly.
THE APPROACH
Written strictly in C to ensure minimal memory footprint and raw hardware execution speed. Iterative pointer management and lean architectural design keeps the binary size microscopic.
LEARNINGS
Returning to C forces a rigorous discipline regarding memory allocation and data structure design. It's a fantastic exercise in maintaining deep control over program state without standard library safety nets.
