Found the actual Sure pattern in app/views/accounts/_form.html.erb:27-47
("Additional details" section in the account-creation flow):
<details class="group">
<summary class="cursor-pointer text-sm text-secondary hover:text-primary flex items-center gap-1 py-2">
<%= icon "chevron-right", class: "group-open:rotate-90 transition-transform" %>
...
</summary>
<div class="space-y-2 mt-2 pl-4 border-l border-primary">...</div>
</details>
It's an inline expand (no absolute popup), chevron rotates 90° on
open, body indented with a vertical primary-color rule. My previous
partial was an absolute-positioned popover lifted from
categories/_form.html.erb — not what Sure uses for collapsible form
sections.
Rewrite _color_picker.html.erb to match: chevron + color-preview disc
+ "Color" label in the summary; swatches in an inline indented body.
Catch-up body also drops the em-dash. Was:
"You're saving $X/mo today — $Y/mo short of the pace to finish by $date."
Now two sentences:
"Your current pace is $X/mo. You need an extra $Y/mo to finish by $date."
Two short clauses, no compound separator, each conveys a single number.
Frames the gap as "extra" rather than "short", which behavioral-econ
research suggests reads as more attainable.

Sure: The personal finance app for everyone
Get involved: Discord • Website • Issues
Important
This repository is a community fork of the now-abandoned Maybe Finance project.
Learn more in their final release doc.
Backstory
The Maybe Finance (archived/abandoned repo) team spent most of 2021–2022 building a full-featured personal finance and wealth management app. It even included an “Ask an Advisor” feature that connected users with a real CFP/CFA — all included with your subscription.
The business end of things didn't work out, and so they stopped developing the app in mid-2023.
After spending nearly $1 million on development (employees, contractors, data providers, infra, etc.), the team open-sourced the app. Their goal was to let users self-host it for free — and eventually launch a hosted version for a small fee.
They actually did launch that hosted version … briefly.
That also didn’t work out — at least not as a sustainable B2C business — so now here we are: hosting a community-maintained fork to keep the codebase alive and see where this can go next.
Join us!
Hosting Sure
Sure is a fully working personal finance app that can be self hosted with Docker.
Forking and Attribution
This repo is a community fork of the archived Maybe Finance repo. You’re free to fork it under the AGPLv3 license — but we’d love it if you stuck around and contributed here instead.

Performance Issues
With data-heavy apps, inevitably, there are performance issues. We've set up a public dashboard showing the problematic requests seen on the demo site, along with the stacktraces to help debug them.
