What: A personal finances app
Why: Because Mint and Credit Karma have horrible interfaces that don't allow me to manage my money and view spending trends in a way that I feel is satisfactory. Prototype for now and using plaid.com API for access to financial institutions.
- z3ugma 12y agoI'd be really interested to see this.

- conorgil145 12y agoI am also really interested in this. Do you have a working prototype that others can play with? Is it SaaS based or something a dev can run on a local box? What is your main goal with the project? Just improvements to the interface? I have been thinking about downloading all of my financial information and throwing it into a project based upon Elasticsearch and Kibana (http://www.elasticsearch.org/overview/ http://www.elasticsearch.org/overview/). I have been using these tools to process log data at work and I get more and more interested in Elasticsearch the more I read about and play with it. They are both open source, but I have not yet dove into either project in detail (certainly not enough to build something on top of it). What technology are you using/plan to use for the project? If you are interested in getting input I would love to chat more about it. Feel free to reach out (personal email in my profile). EDIT: My main motivation for creating a mint-like project is to improve the search and data analysis capabilities so that I can visually explore my spending habits more easily.
