expense tracker sign in CTA

Logout now returns to the public home page

xpenser now sends manual logout back to the public home page and adds clearer sign-in calls to action on the landing page.

Published June 25, 2026

The public authentication flow became clearer after logout and on the home page.

This release came from PR #54 and is now part of the xpenser release archive. It gives people evaluating an open-source expense tracker a clearer view of how the product has improved over time.

What changed

  • Changed manual sign-out to redirect to /.
  • Added a Sign in CTA next to Create account in the landing hero.
  • Added a mobile header sign-in action and regression coverage.

Why it matters

Users who sign out should land somewhere informative, not on a login-only dead end. Clear sign-in and create-account paths reduce confusion for returning visitors.

Where it fits

This improves the public-to-authenticated transition for xpenser users.

For a broader product overview, start with the xpenser home page. Developers can also explore the personal finance API and MCP tools, while self-hosters can review the self-hosted personal finance tracker page.

Start hosted, then self-host when ready

Create a hosted xpenser account for the public instance, or review the MIT licensed source and run your own deployment from Docker Compose.
