🧠 Overview
Today, I finished building a Daily Expense Tracker using Python and gave it a complete UI makeover!
It now looks and feels like a Play Store mobile app — with a modern UI, dark/light themes, charts, and more!

💡 Features I Built
✅ Add Expenses — with amount, category, and notes
✅ Modern UI using ttkbootstrap — smooth fonts, colors, and icons
✅ Dark Mode Toggle 🌓 — just like mobile apps
✅ Delete Selected — manage individual entries
✅ Pie Chart View 📊 — visualize your spending by category
✅ Live Summary Panel — shows total and highest spending category
✅ CSV Export 💾 — share or backup your data easily
✅ Responsive Table UI — like a mobile expense manager

🛠️ Technologies Used
Python 3

Tkinter for GUI

ttkbootstrap for styling

Matplotlib for charts

CSV for storing expense data

🧾 Daily Expense Tracker – Devlog Day 1
📅 Date: July 5, 2025
💡 Project: Daily Expense Tracker
🛠️ Tools: Python + Tkinter (GUI)

✅ Today’s Progress:

Picked my project idea: a Daily Expense Tracker app.

Chose Python with Tkinter for the GUI (I'm learning it right now).

Designed the basic structure:

Add Expense screen (amount, category, note)

Expense history screen

Total balance display

🤔 Things I’m Still Figuring Out:

Should I save the data in a .csv file or use SQLite?

How to show a scrollable list of expenses in Tkinter?

Thinking about adding filters later (like by date or category).

📚 What I Learned Today:

Tkinter layout system (pack(), grid(), and place()).

Created my first working UI frame with buttons and entry fields.

Explored how to link button clicks to functions in Python.

🔜 Next Steps (Day 2 Goals):

Build the Add Expense form functionality.

Store expenses in a file (probably .csv for now).

Display a simple list of added expenses in the app.
