Correct me if I'm wrong but it stores the data on Google's servers in which case you're actually sharing it with a third party.

I used to log every spending in an expense manager before but found it redundant. Now I've built a selenium utility that logs into my bank account every morning (deployed on cloud), calculates my last day's spending and remaining budget and sends me an sms at 8:30 on how much I've left to spend today and savings projection! Haven't touched any finance app ever since

This (and basically most PWA's) could use RemoteStorage [1] perfectly, to be independent of Google.

My solution is to use GnuCash with a git repository. I then use Google Keep to make notes of expenses on the go and once every few weeks I copy them in to the accounts. That way I get the full power of accounting software, with control of my data.

Read it once again out loud, slowly.

Why not use ledger as a backend, it's free and opensource and can also be hosted on whatever cloud you want and encrypted.

Looks nice and clean. Would be nice to add a page that visualizes expenses over a period of months.

That looks great. I've just only just finished writing an automated importer of bank transactions into a spreadsheet, but I've been using Airtable instead. I was going to write some interface, but maybe this can be reused instead...

Technically I love the use of PWA and material design.
I hadn't seen material.io used in an application and it looks great.

nice one. something like this has been on my "things to build when i get some spare time" list for a while; i've used a bunch of budgeting and expense tracker apps and never found one that quite ticked all of my boxes.
thanks for sharing :)

Umm.. what?
