If I may, I would like to give you my list of the most useful features :&lt;p&gt;- Self-hosted: Although, I used online apps in the past, this is now an _absolute_ requirement. I&amp;#x27;m never, ever, going back to linking my bank accounts to a SAS app. I would be, of-course, happy to pay a premium for this (and for the Kubernetes templates).&lt;p&gt;- Transaction imports: OFX, QIF, CSV, XLSX...&lt;p&gt;- Regex category matching: For automatically matching transactions to the correct category&lt;p&gt;- Subset selection on reports: Ignoring specific accounts, categories or tagged operations from specific reports reports&lt;p&gt;- Multi-currency: I tried apps where the only currency available was USD, they did not stick around&lt;p&gt;- Exports: transactions and reports&lt;p&gt;- Rewrites: Rewriting transaction labels automatically (following user-defined rules)&lt;p&gt;- Sanity checks: Travel expenses + Reimbursements must equal zero. If not, Amex messed up again and I should know about it&lt;p&gt;Hope this helps!</text><parent_chain><item><author>jnfr</author><text>Hi Show HN, I&amp;#x27;m really excited to share what I have been working on the side since late November last year.&lt;p&gt;I am a one-person team and this project has allowed me to harness and grow from my few years of experience working as a software engineer. I was also able to flex my design muscles a little bit, while learning some marketing along the way.&lt;p&gt;Stack:&lt;p&gt;* Node.js w&amp;#x2F; Typescript backend&lt;p&gt;* React + Semantic UI w&amp;#x2F; Typescript frontend&lt;p&gt;* Bull for Redis queues&lt;p&gt;* Postgresql for database&lt;p&gt;* (soon) Flutter for mobile app&lt;p&gt;Lunch Money is a personal budgeting tool with native multi-currency support. This 100% grew out of a need to expand and improve the spreadsheet we had been using for about 1.5 years prior to starting development on this. My main goal was multi-currency support but also to rethink certain aspects of budgeting. Check out the website for more details &amp;amp; screenshots!&lt;p&gt;If this looks interesting, I encourage you to try it out, especially if the multi-currency aspect is useful to you.  Thank you and open to any feedback.&lt;p&gt;Side story: I started this project while living abroad in Fukuoka, Japan for a few months. I did a whole write up on that journey here: &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;lunchbag.ca&amp;#x2F;lunch-money&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;lunchbag.ca&amp;#x2F;lunch-money&lt;/a&gt;</text></item></parent_chain></comment><story><title>Show HN: Lunch Money, a personal budgeting tool with multi-currency support</title><url>https://lunchmoney.cc</url></story>

It looks awesome!&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#x27;m a die-hard YNAB person and evangelist. The being said, I have bank accounts in two currencies and it&amp;#x27;s REALLY tough to balance that. Would you say there&amp;#x27;s a fit between the YNAB philosophy and the flow you created?</text><parent_chain><item><author>jnfr</author><text>Hi Show HN, I&amp;#x27;m really excited to share what I have been working on the side since late November last year.&lt;p&gt;I am a one-person team and this project has allowed me to harness and grow from my few years of experience working as a software engineer.
