In the screenshot provided in the README, I see there is a 'sync' button next to the 'save' button. If this is essentially self-hosted, what is the application syncing to?
Edit: Whoops I missed this line under "Features":
> Limited* support to sync transactions with your bank. See here[1] for more details.

- bumpkinjunkie 7y agoI like this idea. You shouldn't have to pay to access your own bank data. Looking forward to the near future when banks either have an API or die a slow death.
- bobblywobbles 7y agoOFX is the API they use. You need specific credentials that can be found online. If a bank doesn't offer OFX support, you can use the tried-and-true method of web scraping the information out, which is what Quicken does as a last-resort.
- bobblywobbles 7y agoAuthor of My Budget. Sync is meant to sync transactions from your bank. Right now it has rudimentary screen scraping, and since I don't have infinite throughput, I wrote a way for others to create these methods for their own bank. Once it's working, I can add it into the app and others can use. I'm trying to get OFX support, which is the much-requested "auto syncing" feature that everyone wants.
