![]() ![]() “We will continue to pursue and invest in other areas where we’ve seen we can make meaningful change-from building affordable housing to providing access to computer science education for students in underserved communities to using our logistics infrastructure and technology to assist broad communities impacted by natural disasters.”Īs much as I’ve criticized this initiative, I want to point out that I admire that as part program’s termination, Amazon announced that to ease the pain of the transition it would be donating to participating charities one quarter of what they earned from AmazonSmile in 2022.Īmazon is such a massive enterprise - over half a trillion dollars in revenue in 2022 - that I hope they will be successful going forward in creating stronger, meaningful programs that pay social and financial dividends. With so many eligible organizations-more than 1 million globally-our ability to have an impact was often spread too thin. However, after almost a decade, the program has not grown to create the impact that we had originally hoped. “In 2013, we launched AmazonSmile to make it easier for customers to support their favorite charities. ![]() In its announcement, Amazon indicates it is the latter: It’s up for debate whether the shutdown is just a cost-saving measure at a time when Amazon has laid off thousands or a more thought-out strategic move to create stronger social impact programming. When you shop at, Amazon donates 0.5 of your eligible purchases - at no cost to you. About Choosing a Charitable Organization to. I’m sure that was the case for many others.Īnd Amazon did so little to promote this program to consumers that they littled benefitted from what could have been the program’s strength: improving the brand’s image as a company that cared. You can use your existing account on AmazonSmile if you have one, or create a new account if you dont. To my mind, the juice was not worth the squeeze for that charity. (I failed to make AmazonSmile my default gateway onto Amazon - shame on me!) And even though this small local nonprofit dedicated staff time to share all sorts of communications about the program over the years, it generated a grand total of $240 in donations as of November 2022. My AmazonSmile account shows that I made 50 purchases over the last 10 years that generated a grand total of $10.63 to my selected charity.

I'm ok spending ~100/yr on a good financial management app.Ĭan't stress enough how valuable this is for small business. ![]() If any HNers have good recommendations, I for one would appreciate hearing them. Not a great way to build trust, which is a absolute must for any financial application. I evaluated personal capital as well, but I got really turned off by them having a "continue with google" auth workflow that leads you to a page saying they haven't implemented it yet. The downside is that ynab is some $, but I think it's worth it not to have ads for insurance, loans, or credit cards being shoved down my throat. It also has a rest api, which I haven't gotten to try yet, but stands out as a very nice to have feature for me. It supports oauth and 2fa, which was nice for the reason you listed: I don't want to give my credentials to anyone, even a "trusted" vendor like intuit. I recently started using ynab, which can also import balances & transactions from banks. It does seem like there's still room for a FOSS/selfhosted Mint clone that gracefully and automatically handles data import (I wouldn't even mind having to enter my banking passwords each time I want to update, to avoid storing them) Apparently some of the big US banks are starting to roll out authentication APIs (e.g OAUTH) so it may be worth another look. I suppose it doesn't matter as much for credit cards, but for my checking/savings accounts, a compromise would actually jeopardize my money. No matter how many security claims they made, I just couldn't justify giving them my bank passwords in plain text. I stopped using Mint after a brief stint because of data privacy and security. Mint is so much easier to use - it automatically pulls and categorizes transactions from pretty much any institution imaginable without no user effort needed. (OFX was not as straightforward to obtain or use as one would hope). Without a way to easily import data directly from my banks/credit cards, using GnuCash (or Firefly III, a great alternative that's also worth checking out) just takes way more time than its worth. It lets you use Python to alter GnuCash files. The heart of this app is the Piecash Python library. There's no way as of yet to download the GnuCash file directly from the web app, but I would like to add that in the future. You can add your own into an S3 bucket, and this will write to it using Python's boto3 library. gnucash file that is saved in the sqlite file format. If anyone has any interest in contributing ideas or code to this, I would love to hear about it. I haven't built the Docker container in a while, so the one on Docker Hub may or may not work. ![]() ![]() I should say right now, though: it's more like beta software at this point. It's very simple, but it does everything I need, to the point that I no longer have to open the desktop program. The container it runs in is destroyed every 30 minutes, but that's enough time to play with it. If you want to try it out, there's a demo of it on. entering transactions, looking at their history, and checking balances. It's a Python/Flask web app for doing the very basics of GnuCash, i.e. So, I made a small companion app called gnucash-helper. So there was no easy way to use desktop AND mobile in a shared way. Last I checked, their mobile app was basically abandoned (around 2018), and it had no way to use a SQL DB, even though the desktop can use SQLite3, MySQL, and Postgres. ![]() I'd take a liberty of compairing current Jupiter Hell with A.D.O.M.Ī.D.O.M. Waaaaay much more challenges - and means for tackling these challenges. If they don't try Melee'ing stuff since successful hand-to-hand demands getting some understanding of core game mechanics.
