Pumped to be able to explore this repo and watch it grow. There aren't a ton of large-scale Next/React OSS projects out there, and this one's absolutely premo. Also really great to see an OSS project in the personal finance space, especially considering the lack of other really good software out there for this usecase.

Thanks! Pumped to see how it goes!

Saw it on Twitter about 15 minutes ago. I worked on a personal finance management tool for about 8 years, never knowing what to make out of it, so it never saw light. I believe that the PF market is lacking a very well-made tool. Everybody uses something, but nobody is 100% happy with their tool. From the pictures I saw on Twitter, it looks incredible. Best of luck Josh, hope this time it will go better.

Thanks a ton!

Thanks for releasing this product, Josh. It looks incredible. Just what I need as I start exploring the building in public space, curious to see how a $1,000,000 product looks inside.

Thanks so much for checking it out!

Tons of great little UI details and interactions as part of this release. Really, really good stuff.

That means a lot, Mike.

Congrats! I've been following Maybe since the beginning. I think you originally prototyped it in Rails by yourself? On that, I was actually kind of surprised to see a TypeScript app -- I always thought it was Rails. Anyways -- super cool to see more closed source companies going open source. I really hope you're able to create a community and eventually monetize it via the cloud offering. I think your plan is solid.
