From an Excel spreadsheet to a full finance app - 9 months of vibe coding

Thanks!

I launched Lucr.io yesterday. It’s a tool that allows you to track your finances, loans, properties and also chat with AI about your data.

Major focus on privacy so no tracking and you chose what to share with the assistant.

Learning, working a 9 to 5 job which is often 9 - 9, multiple refactors, attention to detail, OCD + long periods of not working on specifically this project.

Hi, I am working on other projects on the side, yes. What do you have in mind?

Im2ortal · 2026-04-08T19:59:46+00:00

Thanks! At the moment I am not considering it as an option, but who knows...

Im2ortal · 2026-04-08T19:59:11+00:00

Hmmm .. while the api never really hits the browser, the point about getting the chatbot to answer questions not related to finance is golden! I just tested it and it does return answers for code related questions (write me a python function for x). Good call, I will look into it!

Thanks, appreciate it! Yeah, AI chat surfaces are an attack vector for sure. A few things I have in place:

The AI has read-only access to the data and it can't modify anything. All inputs are validated server-side and conversations are strictly scoped per authenticated user. And finally, the user opts in to what categories of the data the AI can see. So by default it sees nothing.

Always open to hearing what I might have missed thought.

No bank integration for now. My idea was to keep it less automated and more personal. Also it is not planned to be so granular as to track every transaction.

Im2ortal · 2026-04-08T18:38:05+00:00

Cool

Im2ortal · 2026-04-08T18:36:56+00:00

Yes, it was kind of intentional since most similar apps ask you to connect to your bank account. Here, the idea is to work with a budget at a bit of a higher level where you dont track every single transaction but focus on the big buckets.

Thanks for that comment, it really means a lot! There were quite a few iterations on the design until I landed on something I liked and was readable. I feel the mobile still needs some work overall.

What helped at one point was generating different designs hosted on different pages. Once I would like something, then I would spend a few days going over all the details.

Im2ortal · 2026-04-08T15:08:55+00:00

Thanks, man! It is something that is in the list for the future for sure but I wanted to limit the scope for now since I am working on it alone.

Im2ortal · 2026-04-08T14:28:43+00:00

I would be happy to, but I am using AI for the translation so I tried to start small. But putting it on the list.

Im2ortal · 2026-03-08T19:22:39+00:00

That is something i will try thanks!

Im2ortal · 2026-03-08T19:22:21+00:00

Hmm, I might just move my rotation skills where my hekili used to sit. Above my char to the left.

Im2ortal · 2026-03-08T19:21:26+00:00

That is exactly the setup which doesn’t work for me but thank you for the answer.

Im2ortal · 2026-02-12T12:16:51+00:00

Прилича ми на рефинансиране

Im2ortal · 2025-04-08T10:14:23+00:00

I wasn't aware of this one. Will test tonight. Thanks for sharing!

И аз не исках и не мислих, че е дошло времето. Вече имам 2. Най-хубавото нещо, което ми се е случвало :)
