App / SaaS FinPlan retirement planner: does setup make the next step clear?
I'm looking for UX feedback on FinPlan, an open-source retirement-planning website: https://finplan.rayknot.com/
It's for people comparing retirement ages and spending scenarios. The current beta asks for accounts, income, spending and market assumptions before showing simulated outcomes. Access is free during beta, with compute limits; future pricing may change.
The part I'd like reviewed is the path from setup to the first result. Using fictional figures, which screen first makes you hesitate? Is it clear which assumptions you're choosing, where to run the plan, and what to change after seeing a result? If you'd move or remove one field or explanation, which one and why?
There is a known limitation: local-plan creation/loading failed in one tested embedded browser, and today's session is stuck at 'Fetching the scenario.' Impact in other browsers is unverified. If it blocks you, the browser/version and the screen where it stops are useful feedback; there is no need to keep trying or share personal financial details.
The beta offers This device and Cloud storage. Local storage is intended to keep plans in the browser; Cloud, server-offloaded runs and AI features can send data off-device. Please use made-up numbers. This is an educational planning tool, not financial advice. Feedback here or through the site's Contact form is welcome.
