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. Stil…

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 ru…

100%. And super easy to scale up to a certain point. Alternatives have it's place though (PaaS is excellent for 100% product focus in limited timeframe, cloud/orchestration when yo…

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…

It seems to have a nice mobile app as well – cool!

Nice approach – we don't separate between the that many accounts and it is harder to automatically track the spendings afterwards.

I missed the part about selenium scraping – thanks for pointing that out. There has just been a project submitted to solve this on HN – https://blog.teller.io/2017/06/12/the-api-fo…

Well played! :)

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 r…

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