Feature Request - Mileage

I first want to that I really appreciate all the work put in this app.

This may be out of scope but the only thing I'm missing is some way to enter my vehicle mileage. It'd be great to have all this data in the same place.

Thanks for the kind words!

I mean, it's kinda outside the scope. But then, why? It's somewhat related to a person's finances.

I'm interested in hearing your ideas on the implementation of this. For example–do you want periodic absolute logging, such as "on the 23rd of July 2020 my car had 120k miles"? Or do you want relative logging, such as "on the 23rd of July 2020 my car had driven 2k miles since the last time I logged the mileage"? Are there any other vehicle-related features you could come up with?

Thanks for the consideration!

I'm thinking the below models would be a good start. The ability to set recurring trips and associate them with tags (as a freelancer I use "tags" for clients) would also be very nice. Given the ambiguity of actual mileage dollar values, I'd leave that responsibility up to the final accounting/tax preparations. I like the simplicity of this system as it allows just for that and doesn't get in your way with edge case scenario configurations.
