Verified feature request does not already exist?

  • Would you like to implement this feature?

Pitch: what problem are you trying to solve?

On the web version of YNAB, budgets are accessed like this: https://app.ynab.com/<budgetid>, this means I can bookmark that URL and always open that specific budget, and I can also open a second browser tab, with a different budgetid, and look through two different budgets at the same time, on actual, the url is always https://<actualbudgeturl>/budget which means that I can't open multiple budgets at once.

Describe your ideal solution to this problem

All budgets should be accessible from a unique url, as this will allow you to create bookmarks and hyperlinks directly.
Actual already has a budget ID, so it should just be making the url https://<actualbudgeturl>/<budgetid>/budget or https://<actualbudgeturl>/<budgetid>/accounts and including that ID.
