• Would you like to implement this feature?

Pitch: what problem are you trying to solve?

When there are lots of accounts listed in the left pane, it can be hard to differentiate those that are carrying a balance at a glance and, with obfuscated numbers, impossible:

YNAB4 solved this problem by color coding accounts with a negative balance in red.

Describe your ideal solution to this problem

• If an account has a negative balance, show its dollar value in red
• Create a checkbox toggle feature in "Settings" turning this feature on/off

Teaching and learning

• Have this feature on by default
