I get the idea (and wish) of having a unified system for this kind of stuff. But it's very hard to accomplish so many tasks in one application and maintaining it. It may get the job done, but feels very inferior to separate, established tools. But that's just me. Neat project nonetheless!

I'm kind of trying to divide it somewhat into modules so it doesnt feel bad when I need to change something here and there to make some adjustements.

Great idea. Really needs to sync with some 3rd party contact systems and have an app to make it properly viable. Love the concept though.

I tried to work with 3rd part systems but I've quit that idea. I was in middle of syncing todo list with google todo but then came across one problem where I could not found anything on any forum.. any documentation, nowhere.

Also payments goal were using Paypal at beginning - but this came out to be very problematic as Paypal does not support Pools in API co I used curl for data fetch and... when You call page in short time like 2-3 times Your Ip gets banned for few min....

I decided on that moment that I want to have independent system.

Have there been any commercial endeavors to make a project such as this? I have wanted something like that for a while, but I'd rather it be somewhat fully-baked and well supported. Still, congrats, it looks like great work, I'm planning on giving it a try.

For those looking to reclaim their own digital footprint, take a look at NextCloud. I've been running my own instance for a while and it's a lot of fun.

Yes nextcloud is cool i can recommend it as well. :)

Would love to know how you got started on this? Did you create wireframes? Did you design such a neat UI on your own and using what software? BTW : Super clean and useful software. Congratulations.

Like the comment below - started with Symfonator UI.

Generally I started learning symfony for new work then I keep playing with it more and more and.... then I started to have some personal issues where I have more things to do, to manage, to remember about and so on.

I couldnt handle it on my own on that point so either I solve my problem or will suffer.

I decided to solve my problem :)

nice project... been looking for something like that (actually wanting to build something like this)

I was thinking about this for looooong time - just now it happened that I feel fine to do this when I know what code style to avoid, how to manage project and so on.

We learn all the time so when I write new modules I feel like - damn I could do this also the same way in previous module.

Wonder if Plaid is enough/covers most banks

Plaid only covers US banks. My bank though has its own excellent API ( https://www.bunq.com/api/developer ) and third party clients.

Good point. I wonder if Plaid deals with credit cards, probably not, I want to unify all of my accounts so I can have a single balance(cards). People usually say jUsT gEt MiNt...
