I liked the concept here, but tried it out and couldn't figure out how to add the very first thing successfully. I set up my employer's 401k as the first account, and went to add the first investment in the account, but it's a mutual fund not an ETF, which means I had to disable symbol lookup. I had a cost-basis, I had a current value, and I had a count of shares, but you only asked for an average cost-basis and coun…

You can click on the holding, go the Quotes table and add a date, close price

This looks great. I've thought about vibe-coding a similar app for a while but this might just do - I could save a ton of work.

Others have mentioned in the thread that the lack of account integration might be a problem.

Plaid has been mentioned as a potential service, are there other recommendations?

If I find time I could try to write a plugin over a few weekends.

Which you appear to be the developer of from other comments in this thread. Not saying it's bad, but it's self-promotion rather than organic preference.

> Wealthfolio does not currently support integration with online brokers or aggregators. Data must be imported from CSV files or by manually entering transactions. This is unfortunately going to be the deal breaker for wide adoption. Self hosting is great, but manually importing data from dozens of accounts every day and entering every single transaction as you make it is simply too much of a burden.

Would it be possible to write an addon to use Perl's Finance::Quote [1] like GnuCash does? It supports scraping many financial websites, as well as paid AlphaVantage quotes.

Interesting that this made to HN top, last week i posted as about my open source wealth tracker http://github.com/venil7/assets with all the same features, including self hosting and it barely got any traction

No landing page, UI seems bland?
