Very neat, excited to take a look, and especially excited that it is self hostable / open source. I've tried a number of services like this, and always end up back on a spreadsheet because: 1. I hate giving my data to a third party 2. There always ends up being some limitation that forces me to exclude part of my assets, doesn't let me handle something the way I wish, etc

Yeah I also want an offline portfolio tracker Offline taxes guess there’s not enough money in that

You could check out portfolio performance for an offline, open source portfolio tracker.

Maybe I'm just getting old but it always makes me skeptical when something is introduced as "Open Source" and then the main landing page includes a pricing tab.

People are cheapskates when it comes to OSS. OP put in thousands of commits and only has 18 supporters. They are not exactly a software baron are they?

On the other hand you have some onlyfans girls flashing their ass for 10 seconds getting thousands or even millions.

I was initially too, but upon reading said Pricing page was pleasantly surprised.

"saying no to spreadsheets in 2023"

I just don't get this sentiment. Nothing lets me model free-form questions as quickly, easily and effectively as opening up Excel. I get there are better tools for specialized or defined problems, but the spreadsheet is still my go-to general purpose tool.

The first 6 years of my career was working on data heavy applications. The statisticians on staff all used Excel to prototype their models. It's a great tool

Petulant NIH syndrome.

Why did the site hijack the back button? I tried to return to HN but it just kept reloading into the ghostfol.io site...

I am always baffled by people who actually use the back and forward buttons. I guess I just assume that everyone opens links by right-clicking and opening in a new tab. Is there some reason why back and forward is a better or even useful option?

Mobile devices, for one.

The amount of websites that don’t support control+click indicate to me that most people don’t use the method.

Edit: but regardless it’s not okay to hijack the back button.
