New Dough Features

Today, we pushed some new features out to Dough. There are four main features:

  • Improved Quick Entry.. You can now easily enter new items on days that are not today. The “bubble” now includes some tabs at the top that let you select yesterday or the day before, or click on Select Date and choose a date from the calendar.

    Adding an item doesn’t change the date, so if you’ve got a bunch of items for yesterday, you don’t need to change tabs all the time. It looks like this:

    Somewhat nicer, I think! Check it out here.

    We really need to give some props to Freckle for the inspiration, they’ve really done a fantastic job.

  • Mortgage Amount Calculator. This is really cool, and I don’t think I’ve seen anything quite like it before anywhere else. This lets you enter the amount of money you want to spend each month (or week, or two weeks, or whatever), and it tells you how big a loan you can afford, depending on the interest rate and duration of the loan. The cool thing is that it automatically shows you nearby interest rates, so you can get some idea of how much difference a half-percent can make. Check it out here.
  • Mortgage Payments Calculator. This is the more standard “size of loan, interest rate, what do I pay every month?” calculator. It’s great when you’ve found your dream home and want to figure out how much it’s going to cost you. It also shows a range of interest rates and loan amounts, so you can figure out how much wiggle room you have to negotiate with. Check it out here.
  • Mortgage Table Calculator. This mighty tool shows you every single payment you’ll have on your loan, and how much of that goes to the principal (you know — the size of the loan!) and how much goes to interest. This one could make your brain explode with fury when you see the interest amounts, but we all have to pay it! Check it out here.

The cool thing about the three tools is that you don’t need to be logged in to use them, you don’t need an account at all! So spread the word, and let people know about them, since they’re open to all.

And that’s what’s new! We’d love to hear what you think about the new features.
