An open source tool for tracking bank account rates and fees

Hi HN, I've been working on an open sourced tool called Bank Rank to track bank account fees, rates, and balance requirements in the United States. For a quick primer, there are 4 broad categories of insured deposit accounts in the U.S.: Checking, Savings, Money Market, and Time Deposit. Banks oftentimes offer multiple tiers of each account, and with over 9,200 banks and credit unions, some quick back-of-the-napkin math means that there are over 70,000 accounts competing for consumers, with rates and fees that can change daily. I've personally grown frustrated with a number of problems[0]…

    Hi everyone, I just launched Bank List, an online banking directory to help people find the perfect bank for their needs. It currently has 170+ banks/EMIs and it's mostly focused on individuals and businesses from Europe, but I plan on adding new regions soon. The business model is affiliate marketing, I earn commission when someone signs up on any of these banks through my link. Maybe I will also add featured listings on the site, still need to think about this though. I would love to receive feedback about the website and business idea in general. Thank you

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
