Financier Forums

Well after many attempts, I've finally managed to get the damn thing to work. Had a bit of a play with it but really need to spend more time working out thing first. Attempted to take asromzek changes but they didn't seem to work for some reason. Lots of learning to do....

Financier was down for several hours yesterday. It only came good. Sometime early last night my time. I noticed it back up approx 10 hours ago. Perhaps that was related?

Well after trying to get this thing working a number of times I just can't seem to get it to work. Each time I do it i get error after error. First WEbdev then something else and then something else. I install everything it complains about, i then get another error which I can't seem to solve. Bloody annoying....

I forgot (again) that I was going to put that together. These are the current specs for my machine.

• Windows 10
• node.js v8.5.0
• npm v5.3.0

No problem about forgetting  thanks for putting something together, I'll see how that goes when I get a chance.

Thanks again

Anyone able to give some rough steps on how to get started with this?

I've installed git and npm but can't seem to get things working. So some rough steps would be good. I've tried on windows 7 and ubuntu.

At this point, I think it's safe to say we're just not important. Or being ignored. Either way, wouldn't hold your breath. 

Indeed! However it is what it is and we can't change that unfortunately. 

Thankfully we might have something to talk about going forward once Budgeteer opens up in September. Although I wouldn't suggest we do that here....

@Alex any update?

@Alex

Bumpity bump bump

Would love to contribute, but I'm not a programmer per se. I can usually work my way around things, so I'd be very interested to see the code and try and work with it. What laungauges are you using/needed?

For anyone who is still looking for an alternative for YNAB4, there may be hope of another contender ....https://www.reddit.com/user/throwawaykrama

Still waaaay off, and I would suggest that people not get overly excited, as we have seen how that can turn out..... However I certainly like some of the ideas, and it looks pretty good from the mock ups. Certainly something to keep an eye on over time.

Will be interesting to see how it pans out...

Well with YNAB updating the mobile apps to support the new dropbox api, I'll continue to use that for the foreseeable future.

Given that state of Financier development and the fact the community by and large has lost faith and the forum no longer active there seems little point in *hoping* or is it deluding myself things will improve from here. Someone mentioned financiar as abandonware in a reddit post a month or so ago, I have to say it certainly seems that way..

Given the state of Financier I don't see any point with the "Financier is under active development" webpage, its facebook page, forums, reddit  - Perhaps it's time they were changed/removed so as not to mislead anyone in the future....

I was sooo looking forward to an alternative to YNAB the company and YNAB the software.  Disappointing .....

Alright, can you guys see account balances, and are they correct?

Edit: Account sort order is not implemented yet.

Yup, can see account balances and they appear to be correct. Good job!!

I bow down to my new financial overlord! asromzek! asromzek! asromzek!

I wasn't going to mention anything yet since I'm not sure how much effort I'll be able to put into it, but I've been dabbling with building a mobile site for checking balances and entering transactions. Learning Angular from the ground up has been fun, but it's slow going. If I were to pull off building a simple mobile site, would that help sway anyone toward sticking with Financier?

I wouldn't rule it out, but at the same time I'm not sure. I don't really want to give up on what looks like the only other alternative to YNAB at this point. I'd certainly give it a try and see if I could make it work. But other factors may be an issue as well(scheduled transactions).

I have also considered taking a look at the mobile app entry, and TBH I haven't ruled out having a "fiddle" and try and mock something up. But I'm not a programmer, I can usually "hack" something together but I'm not sure I want something "hacked" together when I rely on something as much as I do with YNAB

Edit: But a big thumbs up for giving it a go! 

Yup, I've given up too. I haven't found anything else yet, so looks like I'm going to have to rely on YNAB4 and do manual sync which is going to be a PIA.

@Joel , what are you going to use now? Stay with YNAB? nynab? Something Else??

I think thats a reasonable idea, I actually quite like it. Unfortunately its unlikely to be implemented, like the 99.9% of the good suggestions currently on the Trello board. @Alex is happy with where it is at and has provided no further updates since Feb. Despite saying he was going to do Scheduled Transactions and mobile entry for mobile he response since then has been essentially "arh I have to get on to that" implying it hasn't even been started.

I think personally anyone expecting any features added going forward should consider this a bonus, rather than waiting in hope.

So use it as is if you can or essentially find something that works for you. By the way I haven't found anything close to YNAB4, just a shame that financiar is sooo close to feature parity with YNAB4.
