I have been using https://github.com/jeffkaufman/icdiff for the longest time to get side by side diffs.
meain··on Firefly III: A free and open source personal finance manager
I mostly note down my transactions from my phone and https://moneymanagerapp.com/ has been working great for me.

It does let you start a webserver from your phone and use it on your desktop if you really have to, but the workflow is not ideal. It also does would not work if you need to track expenses of multiple people or want to automatically import expenses from your bank. It does allow you to export your data though. Backup and restore can be done via Google Drive.

Not OSS, and also paid(one time), but was totally worth it for me.

meain··on What is in that .git directory?

Ahh, thanks. I overlooked that detail. I've fixed it now. :D

meain··on What is in that .git directory?
Haha, I have heard that from a lot of people. I actually really like that `f` for some reason.

meain··on Operating systems battle: OpenBSD vs. NixOS
I've heard some good things about Guix on the language front. It is similar to nix but uses guile scheme as the configuration language.

meain··on Vim9: An experimental fork of Vim to explore making Vim script faster and better
There will still be a need for a non compiled language as we might have to change stuff on the fly.
meain··on Ask HN: What's your favorite way of getting a web app up quickly in 2018?
The simplest way that I find to get an webapp running is by using [parcel](https://github.com/parcel-bundler/parcel) for bundling the frontend and using a python [flask](http://flask.pocoo.org/) server for backend. I don't think it could get any simpler than this. Now if I have a database, I usually go with mongodb along with pymongo.
