This looks amazing thank you. I'm curious about the REST API part. Have you used that before? How configureable is it? It sounds like a scaffold of some sort... but, what if I needed to do some custom data processing on the data before returning it in the API, are there hooks for that?
I'm not an expert since I used it for a few projects about a year ago. But the web hooks are mostly for when items are added/updated/deleted.
They have pretty useful API parameters for transforming images. But my initial instinct is to say that you'll have to do custom data processing in the front end or somewhere else, since the API it generates just mirrors the structure of your database. The nice thing about this approach is that you can always remove Directus from a project and your database will function as normal.
They also have pretty use docs which you can check out for your usecase:
Hey prog5, you should check out Payload CMS if you need that type of flexibility and extensibility. Payload has Hooks that allow you to do exactly what you're saying.
Slightly off topic, but I finally broke down and paid for YNAB this year and it has literally changed my life. It doesn't feel like accounting anymore, it feels like playing monopoly. Use QB for biz, and tried mint for years, both feel like work. YNAB not only tracks historical categories but makes it fun to plan future expenses.
The biggest additional feature in the subscription based app is auto-importing transitions. Personally, this is not of interest for privacy / security reasons sharing my banking passwords.
Recently added budgeting to the mobile app. Most of the user-facing improvements have been cosmetic to UI design, colors, and phrasing.
The reports still are not at feature parity with the old YNAB4. Fortunately there’s an open-source Chrome extension - Toolkit for YNAB that improves reporting and charts. However, I find it disappointing this functionality isn’t built into the App.
To truly "cash out", I think you would need to trade into stablecoins or various other coins with low transfer fees (tether, neo, ada) then transfer to a multitude of crypto exchanges who have high enough limits to start converting to fiat. Those with KYC would then report earnings to the IRS. There are some without KYC (KuCoin) which you might be able to hide some earnings. 3rd option is get it into bitcoin, fly offshore and start cashing out from Bitcoin ATMs or offshore banks.
But isn't there value being created in actual legitimate blockchain projects like Filecoin and Storj (dropbox replacements)? For these slower growing coins, isn't the value coming from the utility of the product?

No. Cryptocurrency valuation is 100% driven by narrative, categorically.
Your post in and of itself exemplifies the narrative pumping rhetoric which is at the core of all cryptocurrency valuation. There are absolutely no exceptions to this, and that is not an exaggeration in any way.
