I honestly just use excel but that's because I use it as a book of record for receipts as well. Since you're looking for open source alternatives, OpenOffice would fill that need.
I am probably the target audience for this kind of thing, but I’m having trouble seeing myself slog through hundreds of household transactions every month (or putting in the time to automate transaction imports from my credit union and credit cards). I’m happy to huck money at YNAB to do all this for me, on top of which they give me an app that my wife and I can both use to check the budget and enter transactions on…
Great job building this and also writing the documentation that explains concepts as well as how they are implemented.
I can't believe how many comments here are dismissive. If you are happy using a paid solution to manage your finances and don't want to get into the weeds yourself, you are probably not the target audience for this.
One suggestion would be to make the country-specific pieces like tax calculations module so others can contribute their own.
How do you even do that, unless you manually regex it?
If that's the case, already looks weird on technical decisions.
There's never a decent open source self finance management app somehow.
It's either bloated or just doesn't look easy on the eyes for simple day to day use.
