Ok Bitcoiners, I made these for myself to 1) cut out centralized services 2) no longer pay for those services 3) add Bitcoin compatibility because it's not usually included in most portfolio/budgeting apps that I've seen. I've used a cashflow/budgeting app for over a decade now to make sure I don't overspend (especially when I was making much less). Hopefully these will be useful to someone else. Feedback is welcome.
I tested it out real quick on mobile and it looked pretty cool. I was thinking is this legit or is it a scam? The source code is posted to github.
@ek could this be a replacement for YNAB?
I stopped tracking things after I let that subscription lapse and it would be nice to ditch the manual spreadsheet I use to track everything
Cache Flow looks more like YNAB. I might try, but also maybe not. I'm quite happy with YNAB.
Interesting, I hadn't heard of YNAB until now. I was using Balance Forecasting for over a decade for basic cash flow management, and then was doing portfolio stuff with default tools in my Northwester Mutual website and then a spreadsheet on top of that (particularly for tracking BTC and BTC-backed loans along side credit cards with different interest rates).
Anyway, has been a fun project to create these two things for my own use, if nothing else.
I used Firefly III before YNAB. Your site looks great! It's also a problem worth solving: missing bitcoin support is the only issue I have with YNAB.
Ahh so would need to use both to monitor net worth and do a cash flow budget.
Is this app safe to use? Or will it steal all my info via some back door?
If it's a scam, it’s a pretty good scam
Maybe you can invest in PeerLoomLLC to hedge. Then you also profit if it turns out to be a scam haha
As the creator (or midwifezl, since I used Claude), I can tell you I made it for myself bc I didn't like what I was using.
Code is open source so definitely subject it to scrutiny in case I need to fix anything, especially security concerns .
Thanks!
Hahahaha thanks @ek!
Their repositories look like how @supertestnet would run a business
Not entirely sure what this means but I will take it as a compliment!
Yes, it's a compliment! I like this approach:
@supertestnet is a bitcoin developer who also codes in a single HTML file, see superstore for example.
