Ask HN: Any interest in a dev-friendly financial tracker?

2 pointsby technocrat808010 ay önce1 comments

Earlier this year I built a personal financial tracker (expenses, budgets, goals, investments) unsatisfied with options on the market (copilot, mint, etc.).

It's got a bunch of features that I've found really useful: - A comprehensive tagging system - Notes for transactions - 'Virtual transactions' to set aside money for budgets - Lots of analytics and dashboards that rely on custom filters and tie into the tagging system. - A simple UI that uses shadcn defaults.

Solutions on the market seem to work for most people, but personally it's been a joy to have really fine-grained control over my finances. I've setup filters that answer questions like "How much did I spend on coffee last month?", "How much more do I need to set aside to buy my Miata?", "What were my largest expenses last month?", "What was the price distribution of my spending last month?", at a glance.

Asking HN because there's probably like-minded individuals here with oddly specific things to track. Do existing tools work for you? Why / why not?

I use GnuCash for expenses, my bank's Web-site to monitor the performance of my stocks, and some Libre Calc spread-sheets for future projections.

All three are not ideal, but good enough to cover what interests me most.
