Thank you! I've decided to keep one server per "serious" application. And I have one with a few toy projects that are not critical. Containers would make a lot of sense there. Still containers would make the setup story sligh

Good point. I have experience with Rack attack on application level. Would you recommend webserver instead (nginx)? Or even Cloudflare? (I bet they have a solution).

You are not wrong. Docker (paired with Kamal in Rails world) would simplify a few bits of the setup. But not all. The reason I haven't switched is: 1. my lack of experience with running docker in production 2. don't fix something

I'm using external "send-only" SMTP server (Sendgrid) and Google Workspace as receiving/sending. Email itself is something that I'm not keen on DIYing (though I looked into it and other SMTP alternatives).

Thank you for the kind words. It is interesting that everyone has a slightly different set of requirements for apps like these. Maybe it is my unwillingness to learn how to work with different apps. For a time I was happy with WalletApp but

I wish I knew about http://www.material-ui.com/ before I started finished this project. They are React material design components – the integration would've been much simpler (I assume – haven't tried).

I looked into Ledger when I was writing a small invoicing app (of course I wrote it from scratch – but I learnt a few things and have a small app in my portfolio). For this project I'd argue that you need to host it yourself, you don&#

I just looked into it and it seems that Kiwibank doesn't provide any API access (you can download exports manually thought). ANZ might be a good option then :)

How do you deal with investments and transfers into savings account? When I track my expenses I want to ignore them – as I set a budget to spend $1000 this month. Savings are not really an investment but if I transfer $500 into savings it&#

Yeah, that inspired me to spin off my own – see the reply above.

The tracker is heavily inspired by Mitul's work – also I contributed a bit to his project. But I wanted to customise it slightly to my needs and use React along the way (to have a nice showcase for it). And yes, you are right – Google
