This is very interesting. This is the back story, from the GitHub repo:

> We spent the better part of 2021/2022 building a personal finance + wealth management app called, Maybe. Very full-featured, including an "Ask an Advisor" feature which connected users with an actual CFP/CFA to help them with their finances (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 to let you run the app yourself, for free, and use it to manage your own finances and eventually offer a hosted version of the app for a small monthly fee.

Seems like a reasonably standard Rails app, and they are kind enough to already have a Dockerfile, compose file, and instructions for it: https://github.com/maybe-finance/maybe/blob/v0.5.0/docs/host...

Ironically, as documentation for humans these files are good; as a separate signal that Cursor wrote a finance tracking app is also helpful https://github.com/maybe-finance/maybe/blob/v0.5.0/.cursor/r...
