The screenshots look great. I like that you support Euro (and will hopefully do dollar and other currencies too) - just make sure you get the commas and periods localized well ( http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2010/06/10/jquery-glo... ). The bootstrap UI looks sleek but I recommend styling the buttons to make it look slightly more customized than the default bootstrap CSS.
Also, you should check out my free app: https://zetabee.com/cashflow/ (see the demo and update the dates/amounts to play around). It has similar features and is very much like the original spreadsheet I used myself. It has burn rate (balance), monthly (income vs. expense), and many other views/lists.
My biggest feature request has been multiple simulations/forecasts so users can do what-if scenarios. Also the ability to easily ignore/disable rules with one-click to help with this. Either I get the new car or don't. Check/uncheck to see how it impacts the future. I've been very busy with my other projects and have not updated this app in over two years. I hope you guys can incorporate these features into your app so I can forward the heavy users to you. Good luck!

I'd think it'd be a much better use of their time to improve the product, especially seeing as how they don't think it's ready to be released.
The number of people who have any idea what bootstrap is or looks like is dwarfed, by orders of magnitude, by people involved with small businesses and freelancing. So unless you're targeting snooty design folks who get offended that someone would sully their site with bootstrap, get on with the features!
Given that I bootstrapped the service on my own saved time, bootstrap was an easy choice, just like knockout.js, dotcloud (hosting), recurly (billing).
I really wanted to avoid a born-dead app, and leveraging bootstrap and these other tools was very encouraging.
On the couple hundred of beta-testers, nobody complained about bootstrap, unsurprisingly :)
Thanks for your comment and the good luck, too! Glad you like the screenshots.
Simulations are definitely on my roadmap, along with an API to let people extend the app themselves, and much more.
Euro, dollar and more currencies are supported, it's just "one currency at once" for now.
On bootstrap, localization etc: as this is a bootstrapped service (I'm a freelancer), I wanted to keep a very low overhead of development for now, so I pretty much removed everything I could remove, and leveraged existing stuff as I could.
I will work on a better/more polished UI, localization etc once we (my wife-associate and I) become profitable.
