Tracking Finances
I originally wrote a web app to track my finances in 2003 using classic ASP and T-SQL. In early 2017, I rewrote it from scratch, still using T-SQL, but with C#.NET and jQuery. Lets me review my budget, ensure my net worth is heading in the direction I want, make sure all my payments get made, and ensure my account balances never get too low (with a light forecasting element.)
Ideally I'd open source it, focus on the API documentation so anyone could write a back end, and iron out a few more front-end bugs, but since it gets the job done for me, the motivation never quite strikes me.

- random42_ 5y agoHow do you ingest the transactions? I’d love to be able to replace Mint!
- neogodless 5y agoYou don't want to know! You could hook up an API using Plaid. At the personal level the cost should be minimal. If all your accounts are supported. (I use placeholders with schedules to ease my burden, but ultimately I track every transaction manually.)
- ornornor 5y agoI use YNAB4 through wine and wrote a little CLI utility to ingest CSV statements and format them to what YNAB expects (with currency conversion at the transactions rate for that day). It works well and is all local.
