I also dont trust an LLM with my finances. At least not for now
LarsenCC··on Show HN: Write It Down – Personal finance tracker
I like how many people just use a spreadsheet!
LarsenCC··on Show HN: Write It Down – Personal finance tracker
Yeah np! https://www.reddit.com/r/sheets/comments/178kf81/tracking_fi...

I do tend to write short sentences... haha. But I am def. influenced by all the LLM writing I think.
LarsenCC··on Show HN: Write It Down – Personal finance tracker
Will take this feedback! Thanks.
LarsenCC··on Show HN: Write It Down – Personal finance tracker
Cool!
LarsenCC··on Show HN: Write It Down – Personal finance tracker
I love spreadsheets haha
LarsenCC··on Show HN: Write It Down – Personal finance tracker
Screen studio
LarsenCC··on Show HN: Write It Down – Personal finance tracker
Whatever you say I guess.
LarsenCC··on Show HN: Write It Down – Personal finance tracker
Unsure, will check!
LarsenCC··on Show HN: Write It Down – Personal finance tracker
Some people find value in it, but if you don't thats fine!
LarsenCC··on Show HN: Write It Down – Personal finance tracker
I only know spreadsheet atm haha
LarsenCC··on Show HN: Write It Down – Personal finance tracker
I think browser automation using LLMs is still huge tho (I'm biased haha)
LarsenCC··on Show HN: Write It Down – Personal finance tracker
I prefer to also just write it down myself (at least for now)
LarsenCC··on Show HN: Write It Down – Personal finance tracker
> simple and elegant solutions Exactly!
LarsenCC··on Show HN: Write It Down – Personal finance tracker
Yeah, I guess I just enjoy writing it down myself since I really get a good feeling where I spend my money.

If I let it be automatic, I quickly lose grip.

LarsenCC··on Show HN: Write It Down – Personal finance tracker
I was thinking about making a sheet for this, yes. I might actual revise and upgrade this version to include it!
LarsenCC··on Show HN: Write It Down – Personal finance tracker
Its doing pretty well for an AI writing trope I guess.

I just wanted to share something I have built for myself and other people seem to like it!

LarsenCC··on Show HN: Write It Down – Personal finance tracker
Everyone has their own way of solving their problem. Still a lot of people like spreadsheets more I guess.
LarsenCC··on Show HN: Write It Down – Personal finance tracker
I actually paid a friend to build it who is just getting into software :D He wanted a starter project and needed some money to attend a conference.

But will give him feedback!

LarsenCC··on Show HN: Write It Down – Personal finance tracker
Hehe, its a few more now actually.
LarsenCC··on Show HN: Write It Down – Personal finance tracker
I have no clue. I built it for myself in 2020, then made it better each year. Once posted on Reddit... the rest is history.
LarsenCC··on Show HN: Write It Down – Personal finance tracker
Most free, but a lot still buy! Surprisingly only ~50% less paid signups compared to free signups.
LarsenCC··on Show HN: Write It Down – Personal finance tracker
Probably! I guess that’s what happens when you spend too much time around LLMs lol.

In any case, didn't feel like it when writing haha.

LarsenCC··on Show HN: Write It Down – Personal finance tracker
Yes! Good lesson there.
LarsenCC··on Show HN: Write It Down – Personal finance tracker
Nice catch! Its not ragebait haha.
LarsenCC··on Show HN: Write It Down – Personal finance tracker
haha
LarsenCC··on Show HN: Write It Down – Personal finance tracker
Haha, I mean... You don't have to share your data with a random AI startup. Its in your google drive.

Ofc you can always put it on a sheet of paper :P Thats the OG method.

LarsenCC··on Show HN: Write It Down – Personal finance tracker
People actually getting back to me via different sources (linkedin, whatsapp etc)
LarsenCC··on Show HN: Write It Down – Personal finance tracker
Agree! I got stuck using hype/trendy solutions to solve problems for far too long... This was proof that sometimes all it takes is a super simple solution.
