Show HN: A simple, private, and free net worth tracker
- bbarr 3y agoHi all, this is essentially a glorified spreadsheet. In exchange for losing the flexibility, you gain some privacy (it is run entirely from a local JSON file), and some focus — just fill in the prompts and keep things up-to-date. There is a world in which Plaid is used to maintain account balances or amortized loans on auto-pay get automatically calculated, but for now, I find the once-a-month or once-a-quarter cadence really helpful for keeping on track of my financial footprint. A few times now, on these manual check ins, I have discovered issues like floating rates I thought were fixed, etc. Just follow the color codes on each asset and liability and keep things "fresh". Anyway, if this is useful to anyone else, enjoy!
- sphars 3y agoGave it a try and added a few assets and liabilities. I like it, especially appreciate the use of the FileSystem APIs (shame Firefox doesn't fully support it yet). Bookmarked and I'll try and remember to update each month :) Only 2 minor things I noticed, usability-wise: 1. Didn't know you had to click on the dollar amount to update the value of the item, thought it would be in the edit modal (via the pencil icon) 2. When adding/editing a liability, the modal doesn't vertically scroll when the viewport is not tall enough. The background does, but not the dialog.
