Show HN: Guitos, a free open-source budgeting app (guitos.app)
Hi HN,
I wanted to share an app I've created recently since it might be useful for you:
guitos is a free open-source budgeting app that helps you figure out where your money went and plan your budget ahead of time.
It was initially created to replace a spreadsheet I created based on the budgeting advice given on the r/personalfinance subreddits and as an opportunity to learn React.
The app stores data in your browser's local storage (IndexedDB). Your private financial data doesn't leave your browser.
(If you're wondering what the app's name means: "guitos" is portuguese slang for money/cash. )

[ 3.5 ms ] story [ 40.2 ms ] threadI'll try to explain with an example: I receive a salary at the end of each month and around that time I create a new budget to plan the expenses/savings goals/etc. I frequently add a new expense before I purchase it so I can see the impact on the budget and plan accordingly. Later, I can compare the budget with previous months to understand where the money is going by hovering on a single item. (A tooltip shows its value in percentage of revenue)
How about people who use the browser in english in principle?
Anecdote: I was once asked to translate a phone app into Chinese (i was just pasting strings from a real Chinese speaker) and the first request that came from the users was to add a language setting instead of just obeying the phone's locale.
