Very full-featured, including +an "Ask an Advisor" feature which connected users with an actual CFP/CFA to +help them with their finances (all included in your subscription). + +The business end of things didn't work out, and so they shut things down mid-2023. + +Having spent the better part of $1,000,000 building the app (employees + +contractors, data providers/services, infrastructure, etc.) they decided to +revive the product as a fully open-source project. The goal was to +let you run the app yourself, for free, and use it to manage your own finances +and eventually offer a hosted version of the app for a small monthly fee. + +Which they did. Offer a hosted version for a short while. + +That didn't work either (well, the "making it a sustainable B2C business" part +didn't) so here we are hosting a community maintained fork hoping to keep the +codebase alive and who knows what else will come next. + +Join us? + +[^^^ STOPPED EDITING HERE ^^^] ## Maybe Hosting
