I'm Joe, the creator of Ignidash. In May, I quit my job at Meta to figure out what I wanted to work on next, and ended up on this. It's for DIY long-term financial planning, and includes US tax estimates, Monte Carlo simulations, historical backtesting with real market data, AI chat & insights, and more.
The hypothesis for it is as follows: - As tools like Claude Code and Cursor become better & more popular, the value of being able to vibe (or regularly) code on top of the tools you use becomes greater, because it's faster, easier, and more accessible. This is especially true in personal finance, where everyone has an idiosyncratic situation to some degree and could benefit from changing things to their liking. Thus, the app is open source & self-hostable with Docker. - AI will in some way, shape, or form be a big part of the future of financial planning, and I wanted to build towards that. I think it's genuinely very helpful and informative as long as it doesn't make mistakes, which of course it sometimes does. I'm planning to continue to improve the AI's accuracy with a RAG-based approach in the coming months.
Let me know what you think, and thanks for your time!
