It’d be great if there was an option to display an additional metric on progress bars so that users could do a comparison between the progress and the reference point.

I’m imagining something like this, where the green bar shows the % of your budget remaining and the black bar shows how much of your budget should be left, at this point in the month.

In the meantime I’m showing two progress bars as a workaround but obviously this takes up quite a lot more space. And particular as there’s [no way to make the bars a different colour](https://community.glideapps.com/t/customise-the-colour-of-progress-bars/25536), it creates a slightly confusing UI.
