a-fadil··on Cal.com is going closed source
Open source means living under constant scrutiny. AI just made that scrutiny cheaper and faster. I feel this every day maintaining an open source project. The temptation to close the source is real but let’s not forget that open source is what raised the bar for software quality in the first place.
a-fadil··on Any Open Source projects in need of documentation writer?
If you’re interested in finance and investment tracking https://github.com/afadil/wealthfolio

You setup , accounts, goals, limits and everything in settings. Then use activity to add your transactions

It’s more about having the optionality to not be tied to a SaaS provider and trusting them with all your financial data and bank credentials. Having options to:

1– Install a piece of software and run it locally, no subscription, no cloud 2– Have to right to use a nicer app instead of a spreadsheet 3– not hand over your banking creds. Some banks will void your account insurance if you do 4– Reduce your exposure by not putting all your financial data on some startup’s servers.

Yeah, it seems at certain points I need to add automatic syncing. The app already offers a way to extend things using plugins https://wealthfolio.app/addons.

I actually wrote a manifest about it :) https://wealthfolio.app/blog/wealthfolio-manifesto/

You can search by company name. For manual pricing, click on an added manual holding, then there is a tab "Quotes" in the top right to view and edit the prices.
a-fadil··on Show HN: Wealthfolio 2.0- Open source investment tracker. Now Mobile and Docker
You can click on the holding, go the Quotes table and add a date, close price

The app support mapping profiles. I hope we will have a profile for each major broker.

I'm also experimenting with local llm models to parse files and statement and call the app tools to feed data.

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

Also it’s more about having the optionality. There are tons of cloud-based and connected SaaS trackers out there, but very few local ones. Having options to:

– Install a piece of software and run it locally, no subscription, no cloud – Have to right to use a nicer app instead of a spreadsheet – not hand over your banking creds. Some banks will void your account insurance if you do – Reduce your exposure by not putting all your financial data on some startup’s servers

Flexoki is a bless. Thank you for making it available
a-fadil··on Show HN: Wealthfolio 2.0- Open source investment tracker. Now Mobile and Docker
Nope! Just shipped the self-hosted web app in Docker. No SSO yet.
a-fadil··on Show HN: Wealthfolio 2.0- Open source investment tracker. Now Mobile and Docker
Right now the app supports three market data providers: Yahoo Finance, AlphaVantage, and MarketDataApp. If your ticker is on one of those, it updates automatically. If not, you’ll have to switch it to manual tracking and update or import prices yourself.

You can also start from one snapshot of your current holdings and just add transactions as you go to build the timeline.

Yeah, makes sense. I’ll probably toss in an add-on or optional integration with an account aggregator later, so folks can either opt in or just stick with a local-only setup if they prefer.
a-fadil··on Show HN: Wealthfolio 2.0- Open source investment tracker. Now Mobile and Docker
For now, it's CSV and manual editing using the UI. I'm looking to have direct integration with major brokers when possible to avoid third-party aggregators and managing users' data/credentials (or at least have the option to).
a-fadil··on Show HN: Wealthfolio 2.0- Open source investment tracker. Now Mobile and Docker
Thanks, happy to keep it open source. The community has been very helpful.

Haha, I'm a big user and fan of Wealthsimple :) I created the app initially to have a unique experience for all my other accounts in other banks. I took inspiration from other fintechs as well.

So Wealthfolio gained some attention since the launch. I wrote a kind of a manifesto for the app: https://wealthfolio.app/manifest Also, a draft of the roadmap: https://github.com/afadil/wealthfolio/discussions/70 Will be working to make it the best desktop tracker :)

The app do a call to yahoo api to get symbol data using only the ticker symbol.

Data stored in SQLite file

One way to do it is to import a line with type deposit or transfer in with symbol=$CASH-USD(or other account currency)
a-fadil··on Show HN: Wealthfolio: Private, open-source investment tracker
You log your dividends/interest and you have a dashboard in Holding section -> Income Tab
a-fadil··on Show HN: Wealthfolio: Private, open-source investment tracker
There is an example within the app. On the import screen, navigate to the top right corner and click on "How to Import CSV" for further instructions.
a-fadil··on Show HN: Wealthfolio: Private, open-source investment tracker
Works for me. If the tickers is in Yahoo Finance, it should be supported.
a-fadil··on Show HN: Wealthfolio: Private, open-source investment tracker
wealthfolio.app to check for new app versions. yahoo.com to fetch ticker symbols and quotes

I developed, the app as a side project for my needs. Made the decision to move to another public repository to open sourced and not to keep the git history. App code is simple to read if you want to check security and privacy concerns.
