[FEATURE REQUEST] Payments due over next (period)

[GreatGhaleon]

Hey! Love the software! Thanks for making it!

I personally think it would be an incredibly useful feature if we could select a date range and have Wallos tell us how much will be due from specific accounts on specific days. I wouldn't think it would be a hard feature to implement - the report could be run on demand with specific filters such as date range, payment type, etc.

The use case here would be for something like a bank account dedicated to bills, knowing how to schedule transfers over to keep the account floated.

I'm looking for a really similar (or maybe the same) feature. And maybe I'm able to implement it and make a pull request for it.

But as it would be some more effort, I would like to know if this feature is welcome and will be merged (assumed the code is ok). I don't want to code some days and it will be ignored then... maybe @ellite can give a hint about bigger features and how it is dealt with them?

And maybe have a discussion about how this feature should be implemented. Should it be a seperate view? Or maybe just add a date range filter and subtotals to the subscription page? I think that might already satisfy the feature.

I would personally make it an on-demand report.

The query for totalling and filtering based on date might be a little intensive to run every time the view changes - it might slow down the page. Basically, you would have to identify each payment coming in the next [period], filter into buckets based on available payment types, and then sum those buckets. If you then changed a filter criteria, you'd need to re-run based on the new selections.

A report on the other hand could be set to be generated/emailed on a cron schedule (for example: on a payday, start of the month, end of the month, every 2 weeks, etc), or simply created on demand.
