I feel ya. I wrote a script to reformat my bank's CSV export to make it easier to work with for OnTrack [0]. I imagine it wouldn't take too much work to write a script that reformats and combines multiple sources.

Re:Show HN: A little app to keep your free Heroku apps awake on Wednesday October 30, 2019 @10:12AM (#21397926)
The problem with this is that you don't want your free dyno to stay awake all the time because free dyno hours are capped. This tool let's you set a window to pause the requests.

Awesome list!

I've been getting more interested in self-hosted software recently and have created a few projects in the space.

Budgeting/expense tracking: https://github.com/inoda/ontrack

Journaling: https://github.com/inoda/journal

Keeping free Heroku dynos awake: https://github.com/inoda/heroku-pinger (which I use for my personal instances of the above applications)

This isn't for 24/7 uptime. And it also doesn't depend on Heroku scheduler. That's just one option for getting this up and running quickly.
Re:Show HN: A little app to keep your free Heroku apps awake on Tuesday October 29, 2019 @10:36AM (#21387609)
Yep! This works around that by having a window where the requests are paused.

Why is this the case? This stays within Heroku's limits for free tiers. They cap free dyno hours anyways so if you need your app awake all the time you have no choice but to pay.

That's good feedback - I've added installation instructions to the readme!

Ask HN: Who should I follow on Twitter?

I've had difficulty "getting into" Twitter, but I can see other people in the industry can derive real benefits like learning, getting exposed to new ideas, keeping up to date on industry happenings, etc.I'd like to give it another shot with a curated list of accounts to follow.I work primarily on web apps but am open to learning about other things in the tech space.Who would you recommend...

Any pains listed that you identify with or are these non-issues for you?

Ask HN: Do you have these pain points when consuming/building APIs?

Posted by inoda on Sunday July 28, 2019 @07:38PM
from the ask-hn dept.

Hey everyone,I've experienced some pain as both an API consumer and provider. There are lots of consequential pains, these are the "main" ones IMO. I'm curious if anybody else resonates with these problems:1. As a consumer and provider: Having to look at/manage different services for API docs, status, and change-logs.2. As a consumer: Being able to subscribe to API statuses but typically not...

Yeah that's a good point. I thought the data encryption made it "safe enough". I also wanted to strike a balance between nice security features and ease of use.

I am definitely no expert at security. What hosting would you recommend?

Show HN: A free private journaling app

Posted by inoda on Thursday June 13, 2019 @01:33AM
from the show-hn dept.

https://github.com/inoda/private_journalBuilt this to use myself, and I'm curious if anybody would be interested in using it. I'm also wondering if anybody has tips to make it more secure (I'm super super new to encryption and whatnot). The security is probably a bit overkill since chances are that nobody cares about what I'm journaling, but it is fun to implement from a code standpoint.
