PocketLens – free, self-hosted Mint alternative via Plaid
I built PocketLens because I wanted automatic bank sync without giving my transaction history to a company. Plaid recently started allowing personal developer accounts, and this provides free access to your own financial data. Existing options either require manual csv imports, or route through paid relays: Actual Budget syncs via the SimpleFIN Bridge (a third-party service between you and your data), Firefly III needs an external importer wired to an aggregator. PocketLens connects your own Plaid keys directly and transactions, balances, and brokerage holdings show up (no fee). Plaid is…
What it does
In the maker’s words, at launch
I built PocketLens because I wanted automatic bank sync without giving my transaction history to a company. Plaid recently started allowing personal developer accounts, and this provides free access to your own financial data. Existing options either require manual csv imports, or route through paid relays: Actual Budget syncs via the SimpleFIN Bridge (a third-party service between you and your data), Firefly III needs an external importer wired to an aggregator. PocketLens connects your own Plaid keys directly and transactions, balances, and brokerage holdings show up (no fee). Plaid is also the same provider Mint and YNAB used. Features: automatic sync and categorization, budgets, net-worth tracking, spending reports, recurring-charge detection. The app has a demo that runs on sample data so you can try everything before setting up. Caveats: This app currently needs Supabase for auth and the data API (roadmap includes an option for converting to plain postgres db). Plaid free developer tier only allows you access to 10 connections (financial instutitions). Plaid can see your transaction data, but the tradeoff is that an alternative option like Monarch or Origin cannot. There is an equivalent iOS app that is not open source yet due to setup issues.

- WTWoomarks, transfer your Pocket links to this app or self-host it2025 · woomarks.com · ▲44
Pocket is shutting down and I really, really liked it. So I built woomarks, an app that let's you save links with a similar UI. It's very minimal, but it's doing everything I liked from Pocket and you can bulk import your links and use the app or self-host. - Public app that you can test: https://woomarks.com/ - My self-hosted version, where you can see my saves: https://roberto.fyi/bookmarks/ - Repository if you want to self-host: https://github.com/earlyriser/woomarks Export links from Pocket here:…

I might be the only SRE on Earth with his own bowling center. It's a more in-depth gig than you'd think. My family and I bought an abandoned 8-lane bowling center in the rural mid-west. In our small town there weren't many recreation options for families. You've heard of a food desert? This is an R&R desert. It had been abandoned for a good reason. The roof leaks, the electrical system was constantly surging, and my 70-year-old bowling equipment (still) doesn't work perfectly. The system that keeps your score is particularly interesting to me. It's the thing you watch during your game, but…

Over the past few months, our team has been building more and more slidedecks using web frontend technologies with coding harnesses like Claude Code, but a common complaint is to make even small edits we need to edit the code either manually or via the harness. To avoid this loop, I ended up creating Bento, a single HTML file with everything you need in a slide tool including animations and shared editing. There's no install or cloud login, everything works offline. The default deck is around 560 KB and it doesn't need to fetch anything once you got it. Open it in a browser and then you can…

A few days ago I found myself trying out GLM 5.2 and was really positively impressed. The capabilities and security I was getting from this LLM are similar to those I've gotten from models like Claude or GPT, and this really surprised me. But then I thought, "I wonder how it would work on a normal computer like mine," and above all, "I wonder if it would work without going into OOM on a computer like mine." So I started working with the help of agents to test this possibility. I started converting the model to int4, understanding MTP usage, and if possible implementing DSA for long context.…
