+# April
+
+In April I have finally updated Klin tool to generate C++ bindings. This allowed
+me to have Git Budget as a Qt application for macOS using Kotlin Dialect.
+
+The most interesting part is how many lines of code were saved when supporting
+several platforms:
+
+| Platform |  Saved lines of code | Saved % | Total lines of code |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| Android | 0 (Original code) | 0% | 652 |
+| iOS | 333 | 58% | 569 |
+| macOS | 340 | 44% | 761 |
+
+Turns out the fact that you don't need to repeat the logic means additional
+platforms require 44-58% less lines of code, i.e., once you have an Android
+application any additional platform comes at only half the price.
+
+# May
+
+In May I plan to add the history of spendings to Git Budget.
