It might be nice to get a preview of the software before downloading and running it locally.

Why not upload some screenshots of the application?

If this is an Electron Application, would it not be somewhat easy to upload a hosted version to a website? Even if this hosted version was "read-only", it would still be a good indicator of what I might be downloading.

That would be neat. I'd take a look at a web version, but an not really in need of a budgeting app so I'm not inclined to download anything.

Also there isn't a premade Linux version.

I'm working on getting a Linux version up soon. Thanks!

The Linux version is now up on the repo:

Great idea, I'll see if I can port the source on Github Pages and have users go there if they want a demo? Superb idea, really! In the meantime I can put screenshots / .gifs on the repo itself to share what it looks like.
