alt Hacker NewsI’m working on https://finbodhi.com — a double-entry personal finance tool where you own your data. It’s local-first, syncs across devices, and everything’s encrypted in transit.
It helps you track, understand, and plan your personal finances — with a proper accounting foundation.
It's interesting in many way. Using double-entry (it's a perspective shift), the technical challenges of building local-first app, UI/UX & visualizations, privacy and more.

This looks very interesting. Do you support double entry bookkeeping not avoid errors? Is there support for transactions with more than one currency?
This looks supercool- Do you mind if I ask what your tech stack is ?
also, if you are looking for help - I would love to chip in.This is something that has personally interested me too :)

Good stuff! This was the first thing I checked, and it means I am now reading more about the app. Really nice to see this approach.
I know this is still WIP, but is feedback ok? The plan buttons say "Get starterd" which is a funny typo :) Also, I was not sure, but is this a website app, or a local app? For local data, I would strongly prefer an actual local app. Some screenshots of how it looks on multiple devices (directly comparable, as in, this is the same view and same data on iOS/Mac) would be great. Finally, do you have bank links? _The_ killer app I want in a personal finance app, and you'd be surprised how many make this really difficult, is to track my actual income and spending.
I signed up for your newsletter. Rare for me to do. Looking forward to hearing more!
