I've been using an excel spreadsheet to track my personal finances for the last 5-6years and thanks to Cursor and nostr that is going by the wayside. This weekend I built the baseline for a personal finances tracking application that puts all my data into replaceable event kinds and stores them on a self hosted NIP42 auth with npub whitelisted relay. All data encrypted with NIP44. I built an android app and a Linux .deb app that both retrieve the data from the relay and present it to me and let me edit and add to it on either platform. Excel is great but you're trapped by Microsoft and stuck to a computer (also microsoft office tools are now another fucking subscription) and the Mint type tools don't handle bitcoin transactions and tracking. Im sick of having 80 fucking apps just to track my finances and I'm sick of letting companies mine my financial data to sell me ads. Nostr, AI, and self hosting is the future and the future is now. This shit is magical.
