       Show HN: Guitos, a free open-source budgeting app
        
       Hi HN, I wanted to share an app I've created recently since it
       might be useful for you:  guitos is a free open-source budgeting
       app that helps you figure out where your money went and plan your
       budget ahead of time.  It was initially created to replace a
       spreadsheet I created based on the budgeting advice given on the
       r/personalfinance subreddits and as an opportunity to learn React.
       The app stores data in your browser's local storage (IndexedDB).
       Your private financial data doesn't leave your browser.  (If you're
       wondering what the app's name means: "guitos" is portuguese slang
       for money/cash. )  source code available @ https://github.com/rare-
       magma/guitos

       | good. I will take a look at your code and maybe fork it to learn
       | a little react. Well done on releasing and getting to to the
       | front page of HN.

         | thanks for the feedback! guitos allows the creation of multiple
         | budgets so that it is possible to plan the future/review the
         | past.

         | I'll try to explain with an example: I receive a salary at the
         | end of each month and around that time I create a new budget to
         | plan the expenses/savings goals/etc. I frequently add a new
         | expense before I purchase it so I can see the impact on the
         | budget and plan accordingly. Later, I can compare the budget
         | with previous months to understand where the money is going by
         | hovering on a single item. (A tooltip shows its value in
         | percentage of revenue)

       | or select templates to see exactly what the app can do.
