We spent the better part of 2021/2022 building a personal finance + wealthmanagement app called, Maybe. Very full-featured, including an "Ask an Advisor"feature which connected users with an actual CFP/CFA to help them with theirfinances (all included in your subscription).

The business end of things didn't work out, and so we shut things down mid-2023.

We spent the better part of $1,000,000 building the app (employees +contractors, data providers/services, infrastructure, etc.).

We're now reviving the product as a fully open-source project. The goal is tolet you run the app yourself, for free, and use it to manage your own financesand eventually offer a hosted version of the app for a small monthly fee.

There are 3 primary ways to use the Maybe app:

1. Managed (easiest) - we're in alpha and release invites in our Discord
2. Self-host with Docker
