Show HN: Finance Monitor – Personal finance aggregator (finance-monitor.com)

This web app aggregates accounts, and displays their balances, transactions, and trends in one place. I started building this a few weeks ago after learning Mint.com was shutting down. I used Mint mainly as an aggregator, to view all account values together, and inspect transaction history without logging into each account separately. I realized I could replicate this functionality by using Plaid’s API as an aggregator.

I noticed after starting that this is a saturated field! I think there’s still a reason to launch: It’s fast (By virtue of not using frameworks or analytics), doesn’t do anything creepy with user data, displays information in a concise format, and doesn’t send marketing email or notifications.

Tech stack: Django backend, Postgres database, HTML + CSS + JS frontend. I may integrate typescript, but am skipping it for now to eschew the build step and associated config.

There are other uses people have for Mint, like budgeting, which I don’t use personally. I didn’t put much work into them, but may if I get enough feedback.

I’m open to any and all feedback and critique, and will add features quickly as I discover shortfalls, and read user feedback.
