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

I at least would absolutely invite you to share in this thread some of the differences between your offering and this one! I didn't see your post.

UI polish and this has a nice lander with a better sell than a Github readmw

Why does this app have a nice landing page? Who paid for that? Why? Nobody makes a landing page to wcratch their own itch. In some situations I'd rather have a readme.

Not super related, but have you considered getting a proper licence? Your project is not so much 'open source' as much as it is 'source-available'. Might be a good read: https://opensource.stackexchange.com/questions/9805/can-i-li...

Just because you don't, doesn't mean nobody else does. Lots of people have a design itch to scratch.

So I don't want to be rude, and am saying this purely as feedback since you asked and I detect a bit frustation - the wealthfolio site linked in the post presents a lot better than your one linked in your github.

Nominally they appear to be very similar like you say (open source, locally hosted etc), but the presentation does make a big difference for at-a-glance engagement. The wealthfolio is just... very pleasant to look at. The site largely focuses on what the value to the reader is, versus 'how do I get it running'.

Just my thoughts. I know it's incredibly frustrating when you see a copy/version of something you've made, but it gets more attention. But honestly could also just be the mood of the day. There may just be nothing to read into here.

Sometimes, its just luck or timing. But I usually upvote open source projects with an actual website and not just a repo. Thats me of course. Also, the UI screenshots from your github didn't look that appealing. Hope this feedback is helpful.

Agreed, they should at least support Plaid to get your account information and pull it in locally.

Would you actually pay for that as add-on? Plaid isn’t free.

I would just add the option to add your own Plaid key or do manual imports.
