I built a thing: tallyai.money
I wanted a fully offline way to track spending. Mint was fine, but categorizing transactions was always the worst part.
There are really two problems:
1. Getting transaction data (hard)
2. Categorizing it the way you actually think about money (medium)

When you’re done binging Stranger Things this holiday season🎄
Watch nerds struggle to build and deploy modern apps - live.
It’s long. It’s uncut.
Sometimes it’s a little unhinged.
And there’s always something to learn.

Aspire has evolved a ton since I initially saw it demoed years ago. Even though it was initially made for the .NET ecosystem, it's expanded to everything from MongoDB, to Deno, to Rust, to Node.js. You can define your local dev setup in code and deploy it without changing anything.
