Oh good, I thought this was about the Linux distro.
Similarly, I thought this was Mint Mobile – i just paid for a three month contract to use on my work phone
This is not the mobile thing as well? Way too much stuff called mint…
I thought “Oh no! Did Canonical get jealous and do something nefarious?”
If someone is looking for a local hosted budgeting alternative, consider using Actual Budget. It’s an open source app that’s similar to YNAB
https://github.com/actualbudget/actual
Edit:
Also this is an interesting read from the original developer of Actual. Basically, it started as a closed source web app funded by a subscription model. When the business failed, he decided to open source it
Thank you for posting this. Stupid question, how do I download just to put it on my laptop? I don’t download from github a lot and I’m a little lost pulling down the exe.
I don’t think it’s offered as as an exe as it’s server-client model where you access it through a web-browser. If you want to just run it on your laptop, it can be both your server and client. The installation instructions are here, and there are also instructions for Docker on the left-side menu.
Thank god, I thought this was about the herb.
The herb is a weed that can’t be killed once it gains a foothold.
Oh phew, I thought this was Linux Mint
I thought it was mint mobile
I thought the same, mint mobile. I was like wtf does credit karma have to do with phone service.
I thought this was the family of plants called Lamiaceae
Same here, got nervous
That would’ve been tragic.
I think “Credit Karma” is the name of the next version of Ubuntu.
Kredit Karma for the usual alliteration
Good. Mint sucks. Fuck Intuit.
Use Lunch Money or YNAB.
Been wanting to switch to a local-only solution for ages, guess they’re forcing me to hurry up :D
I made the move years ago and haven’t regretted it at all. I just hate that most of the solutions are subscription crap (looking at you YNAB) though the one I use is a pay once service unless you pay for the bank connection.
I used to use Mint before they got acquired, I stopped in 2012ish for security concerns because back then the way you connected was just giving them your password.
Also it broke all the time and my student loans got stuck while my checking accounts didn’t so it ruined my net worth chart which was like 80% of why I liked it.
But, shame it’s shutting down even if I didn’t like it I’m sure it was useful to others.
Mint very quickly gave me the feeling of original devs cashing out just in time before the new owners found out its intervals were toothpicks intricately held together
Lol comments are hilarious. Everyone thinking of a different Mint
To those who have already switched (whether to Credit Karma or another service): What are you using and why do you like it?
I switched before this because I wanted to keep an eye on my credit score. Credit Karma gives me both scores and with more detail than I was getting from Mint.
Does credit karma still at least post transactions? Can’t check myself until I get home from work.
No. I can’t see how I spend my money on there unfortunately. It’s also big on advertising like “you should get another credit card. Here’s some preapproved offers!”
But Tbf, I barely notice the lack because Mint could never get my transactions right anyway and was constantly disconnecting accounts.
I’ve used !ynab@lemmy.world for a while and love it. It’s helped me get out and stay out of debt for 8 years now.
It’s too bad it’s not the US mint. It might help inflation.
