Show HN: I built my own financial planinng app

A few years ago, I started managing my finances using Google Sheets. It worked fine for a while, but then I hit some limitations. As my financial planning needs grew more complex, I found myself struggling with tracking assets and forecasting future financial scenarios. Thus, I started to work in my spare time on building FinancialAha: https://www.financialaha.com - a financial planning app designed to do everything my spreadsheets couldn’t.

It is completely free and I intend to add some paid features later on as listed on the pricing page, but I want to keep it free for people that need to do basic financial planinng and projections. Currently it works best on desktop screens, and I working on making it available on mobile devices.

Key Features: - track all your assets & debt - manage various types of assets including cash, stocks, real estate, digital assets, etc., all in one place. - cash flow insights - visualize and optimize your income and spending habits. Understand where your money is going and plan smarter. - financial projections - use your current data to create realistic projections, plan for future expenses or investments, and keep your finances on track. - privacy and Security - by default, your data remains in your browser, and when stored, it's encrypted end-to-end. The data never gets on our servers unencrypted and all the encrypt/decrypt is done on client. This way, the plain data never gets to FinancialAha.

You can try it for free and see how it works. Check it out here: https://www.financialaha.com

I'd love to hear your feedback!

PS: It is built using Hugo for the frontend and I am using VueJS for the app. Currently, all the data is stored only in localStorage, and when I will add the cloud version I will be using Firebase. For hosting I am using Netlify and Firebase.

I like the UX. Will give it a try and see how it goes. Is there any way to import data, rather than just enter it manually?

I am working on adding something that allows to import files. I don't plan to enable connections to financial institutions because that would compromise some of the privacy.
