Heya @BrunoBernardino
Thanks for your contribution, and Zen Budget looks cool.
You mentioned it was open source (AGPL 3.0), but I couldn't find the code for the backend, where data is handled. Could you clarify whether it is actually open? Is it able to be self-hosted?
A few more questions,
- Are there any advantages over systems like firefly-iii ?
- I couldn't see if there was support for 2FA (OTP or U2F tokens), was I missing it?
- Is it easy for users to import or export data in a common format (I could only see proprietary JSON format)?

Great questions @Lissy93, thanks! It is able to be self-hosted, by virtue of the backend system it uses, userbase.com which is Open Source (MIT Licensed), so not as simple as changing an environment variable (but as easy as changing a couple of lines of code, to point to the self-hosted userbase version).
I don't know Firefly III but it looks like a full-fledged personal finance manager, meaning it also tracks income, which Budget Zen doesn't (it's built to be a simple way of tracking expenses per budgets).
Userbase doesn't support it yet, but once it does, it can be built.
The JSON format is open and simple, but I don't offer CSV, for example, as it just hasn't been requested yet. I could consider it, if there's enough people requesting it. |
Moves to notable mentions until the project is more mature

Even if you want to run your own instance of Userbase, you have to use AWS, as far as I can see... Also, I seriously doubt their claim that using Userbase it's easier to adhere to the GDPR: because it seems like it'll save your data on US servers. |

@ltguillaume indeed, the code is setup to connect to any AWS instance (can be on EU if you're "self-hosting"): https://github.com/smallbets/userbase/#configure-the-aws-credentials though you can arguably tweak it to use something else like DigitalOcean and MongoDB. |

@ltguillaume / @Lissy93 just an FYI, Budget Zen now doesn't depend on Userbase and is easier to self-host. Reference: https://budgetzen.net/blog/announcing-budget-zen-3.0-self-hostable |

@BrunoBernardino Nice! Can't have been easy to implement E2EE. |
