Telegram Expense Bot
February 5, 2026
A Nami-themed Telegram bot for logging expenses without opening a spreadsheet just message it. It parses amount, category, and date from natural language, then answers questions like current balance, monthly summaries, top spending category, and month-over-month comparisons.
Transactions and user profiles are stored in Postgres (Supabase), with a Docker-based publish workflow in GitHub Actions.
Why: Opening a spreadsheet every time to log an expense was too much friction this made tracking as simple, easy, and low-effort as sending a message.
