Nah. In Europe, Venmo is just not a thing, because bank transfers are free and fast. IDs are a plastic card, just like almost everywhere else.

Banking apps are a bit more problematic, because most people (and probably banks, idk) prefer if you use those not just if you have a smartphone and want to do banking on it, but also as a second factor for when you want to log in on your desktop.

There’s plenty of alternatives (TAN readers, for example), but none as simple or seamless, unfortunately. But bank websites are fully featured (and usually more so than the app, actually).

Fantastic. Best use of language models I’ve seen.

Awesome to see improvements there. Thanks a lot for linking!

Oh wow, awesome!

Thank you for your sacrifice :D

While I don’t like it, it’s not hidden either:

There should definitely be an option to disable this for self-hosting, but if it’s just a counter for how often each tool is used by all users combined… Eh…

(Stirling also has something similar)

Why not open a PR to make it configurable? The maintainer is super active and friendly.

Thanks for the recommendation! That looks interesting indeed.

This entire topic is probably a sinkhole of complexity. It’s great to have somewhere to look for inspiration!

Yeah those are good points. Also noticed the CDN thing, it’s a bit annoying for a privacy-first project… But should be an easy fix 😄

Stirling’s backend is Java. So, yeah, heavy and slow sounds about right.

Ah, thanks for mentioning. Yep, they have a docker image; as mentioned, a nixpkg will be available soonTM; and frankly, you can just build / download the release artifacts and put them on any static host.
