Behavioural + RUI audit follow-ups.
The yellow overload finding flagged three concurrent yellow surfaces
on the show page: the "Behind" status pill, the catch-up alert, and
the open-pledge banner(s). Demoting the alert to outline ownership
of the primary CTA addressed one layer, but the pill kept fighting
the alert for hue attention. "Behind" is a state, not a call to
action; the alert owns the action signal.
Switch the pill's classes from `bg-yellow-500/10 text-yellow-700`
to `bg-surface-inset text-yellow-700` (with the same dark-mode
override). Background goes neutral (matches paused/archived chips);
the text keeps the warning hue and the triangle-alert icon stays.
Signal preserved, weight reduced. The yellow alert below now reads
as the primary nudge instead of one of three matching tones.
Also: copy/em-dash sweep across goal surfaces. User-facing strings
that contained em-dashes ("Reaches 70% — $X of $Y", "into your
linked account — Sure will catch it", "You're at 80% — $X of $Y")
read as a stylistic tic; replace with comma/period/period
respectively. Form-stepper review placeholders "—" become "…"
(ellipsis reads as "not yet set" without the typographic weight).
Code comments + log messages also scrubbed for consistency; awkward
sed artifacts (//. its...) restored to readable English.
No locale-key shape changes; pure string-content edits + one
component-style tweak.

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

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.
