This is the result of about 10 months of sporadic work and two restarts from scratch. I never thought it would be worth sharing, but here we are.
Among other things, I needed to manage accounts in 4 currencies (USD, CAD, ILS and EUR), track transactions from ILS to USD to USDC (!) to CAD to EUR (don't ask), figure out all the fees I paid for this madness (please do ask), and deal with a dip so low that I only had 2 weeks of runway left, Canadian banks that randomly break Plaid imports, and Israeli banks that export XLS (no even XLSX!) as the only export format.
There is no way in hell an off the shelf budgeting app could handle any of that, and a bunch of vibe coded shell scripts that I started with can't tell me at a grocery store if I can afford beef or just chicken today.
A lot has gone into my financial recovery, but this app was one my most important tools. The other one is an emotional processing and stress relief tool that helped me deal with the series of shit storms, but that's for another day.
