24 alternatives to We open sourced a $50M neobank

Open sourcing our neobank for nonprofits has been years in the making. We shared our initial launch here back in 2019 (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19257241). Today, I’m happy to announce that our Ruby on Rails codebase is public on GitHub!

A neobank platform originally valued at $50 million and designed for nonprofits has made its Ruby on Rails codebase publicly available on GitHub. The open-source project allows developers to access and build upon the… Below are 24 products that do a similar job, ranked by how close each is in meaning and then by launch-day votes.

    Hello HN community! As a long-time Github user, I often had issues with public repositories that remained open for a long time. This is due to multiple reasons, such as the lack of resources or prioritization. Sponsoring a repository isn't always the best idea because most of the time, contributors are not the ones receiving money. I came up with a solution: put bounties on GitHub issues to incentivize open-source contributors to fix issues even if they're not directly affected by them. This tool is not intended to force any unwanted additions to a GitHub project, but mainly to help with…

    Hey everyone! I just built a mobile app using Expo (React Native) for a platform that moves $6M/month. It’s a neobank used by 6,500+ nonprofit organizations across the world. One of my biggest challenges, while juggling being a full-time student, was getting permission from Apple/Google to use advanced native features such as Tap to Pay (for in-person donations) and Push Provisioning (for adding your card to your digital wallet). It was months of back-and-forth emails, test case recordings, and also compliance checks. Even after securing Apple/Google’s permission, any minor…

    Ray▲298

    I've been using this daily for 4 months and figured others might find it useful. This is my first open source project so would love any feedback. Ray connects to your bank via Plaid, stores everything in an encrypted local SQLite database, and lets you ask questions about your finances in natural language. No cloud, no account, your data is stored on your machine. Before anything reaches the LLM, all PII is stripped — your name, companies, transaction details are redacted and replaced with tokens, then rehydrated locally in the response. The AI never sees who you are.

    Hey HN, we're Evis and Nick and we're excited to be launching Neosync (https://www.github.com/nucleuscloud/neosync). Neosync is an open source platform that helps developers anonymize production data, generate synthetic data and sync it across their environments for better testing, debugging and developer experience. Most developers and teams have some version of a database seed script that creates some mock data for their local and stage databases. The problem is that production data is messy and it’s very difficult to replicate that with mock data. This causes two big…

    Several months ago, I built a "stealth" feature that I could use. It hasn't been advertised, and I've been the only user. As I find it useful for myself, I believe others (software developers) may like it too. So, this is the first public post about it, and if it gets any positive feedback, I may put some time into promoting it more. In essence, given that you've opened a GitHub repo (there are ~225k of the more popular ones indexed as of now), you can replace "github" with "libhunt" within the URL, and you will find the top alternatives and related projects. For example, here are three…

    I built this because I wanted my own directory of public companies running bug bounty programs — where I could see their infrastructure in one place and have a real idea of where to start poking holes. Neobotnet collects intel data from companies on HackerOne and Bugcrowd — subdomains, DNS records, web servers with status codes, indexed/crawled URLs, JS files, and exposed secrets/paths (still building this last part). The data is already there when you need it. No scans to run. Currently tracking 41 companies, 63,878 web servers, and 1.8M+ URLs. Long term I want to expand this to…

    Hi HN! Tony & Ali here, we are super excited to introduce Venice - an open source financial data integrations platform. Our MVP is getting financial data from Plaid into your postgres database in under 5 mins. We met while building our own respective fintechs. We noticed how much developer time went into setting up and maintaining the infrastructure rather than actually building the fintech itself. In Tony’s last project Alka for instance, the engineering team spent 30%+ of time building and maintaining the data connectivity and pipeline rather than the core work of accounting. What we wish…

    I built this as a small side project to learn and experiment, and I ended up with this! I used a subdomain from my personal portfolio, and everything else runs on free tiers. The project uses Nuxt, SVG, Cloudflare Workers, D1 (SQL), KV, Terraform, and some agentic coding with OpenAI Codex and Claude Code. What started as a joke among friends turned into a fun excuse to build something end to end, from zero to production, and to explore a few things I’d never touched before. I’d really appreciate any feedback or suggestions.

Since we last introduced Neosync on HN 4 months ago, we’ve made a lot of progress and we’re excited to be launching several new features. As a reminder, Neosync is an open source platform that helps developers anonymize production data, generate synthetic data, subset it and sync it across their environments for better testing, debugging and developer experience. We do all of this while handling referential integrity. Whether you have primary keys, foreign keys, unique constraints,…

    http://giving.github.com A few weeks back, from a conversation around helping make the world a truly better place, we started a site where charities, organizations and those trying to make the world better could ask us programmers for help. The site is hard to establish as those doing meaningful work and in need of our help are sadly unaware of the programming community and spirit. But it has started to attract some requests - issues in github-mapping - that will hopefully propel it forward and serve to raise awareness with the good causes! So go get over there and help code something…

    We run an open startup and believe in sharing numbers publicly. But our setup was a mess: metrics lived in Stripe and PostHog, we'd pull them manually, paste into our CMS, and embed that on the site. Every update was a chore. Every number was stale. Openboard connects directly to your data sources and generates a live public metrics page. No CMS middleman, no manual updates. Currently supports Stripe (MRR, churn, active subscribers) and PostHog (visitors, signups, retention). Adding more integrations based on what people actually need. The base version is free — sharing should be…
