Built a financial dashboard for myself — 2 signups in the first hour without trying

I've been frustrated with personal finance apps since Mint shut down. Nothing handled my situation well — personal accounts, business accounts, and investments all mixed together across multiple institutions.

So I spent a few evenings building my own.

Stack: Next.js, Express, Plaid for bank connections. No AI, just a straightforward dashboard.

The main thing I focused on that nothing else does:

- Tag accounts as personal or business on first login

- Everything splits automatically from there

- One screen shows cash position, net worth, runway, and a health status

- Personal vs business spend comparison over time

Posted in r/mintuit this morning mostly to see if anyone else had the same problem. Got 2 signups within the first hour without really trying.

Still very early — no auth yet, waitlist only. But the signal was enough to keep building.

Demo: flightdeck.finance/demo

Waitlist: flightdeck.finance

Two questions for the IH community:

1. Would you pay $9-12/mo for operational financial awareness vs a budgeting app?

2. What would make you actually switch from whatever you're using now?
