💻

Would you like to implement this feature?

Pitch: what problem are you trying to solve?

As indicated by https://github.com/actualbudget/actual/issues/2963, I'd also like to be able to quickly identify overspent categories.

One way to do so would be to add one or more filtered views to show only underfunded/overspent categories, but it could also be extended to enable users to create custom filters to quickly views categories.

Describe your ideal solution to this problem

a banner with buttons at the top of the budget view, where we can quickly click to filter categories. Overspent / underfunded button could be set as default. A "new" button could be added to create a custom filter by selecting categories you want into this filter, and name it. It would then be added to the buttons' list.
