One thing that I really appreciate about the blockchain and AI communities is that there is a lot of open source activity in these spaces. It seems feasible to find an interesting project on GitHub, get a deep understanding of it, and take up an issue to start contributing to it.

I wonder if there are any good examples of open source projects in infrastructure that have a similar amount of activity? When I am talking about "infrastructure" here, I'm thinking of things like: pub-sub, event streaming, distributed coordination, and/or data distribution systems.

I've started to get the feeling that open source infrastructure is relatively static now given all of the work that went into it during the last two decades, so there isn't much going on outside of the largest companies that need to scale existing solutions.

Hey HN,

For the past couple of months I've been building Balance, an iOS app designed to simplify tracking my net worth by managing accounts, assets, and debts across multiple identities and currencies.

For the past 10 years, I operated several companies, each using multiple currencies, managing over 22 bank accounts simultaneously. Initially, I relied heavily on spreadsheets, but updating these sheets could take hours or even days. As I put off these updates, the task became increasingly daunting, creating underlying stress.

Existing financial tools didn't help much, as they were either focused on single-currency (or single-idendity) use or overly complex, incorporating budgeting, transactions, and other features I didn't need.

I wanted a straightforward approach: a realistic snapshot of my finances at any moment, accurately reflecting fluctuating exchange rates, asset values, account balances, and debts. That's why I decided to build Balance.

With Balance, I now update my financial picture in under 15 minutes for all 22 accounts, 4 identities, multiple assets, and debts. The app updates exchange rates hourly for over 160 currencies, without assuming USD as the primary currency, meaning anyone globally can select their preferred reporting currency.

Building and debugging the multi-currency feature was particularly challenging, but I'm thrilled with the outcome. Balance now significantly reduces my financial management stress and workload.

I'm nearing the official launch and would appreciate your feedback!

Core Features: - Modern, intuitive interface using SwiftUI, Manage multiple accounts, assets, debts, and identities - Multi-currency support (over 160 currencies with hourly updates) - Biometric authentication for sensitive data - Private, local data storage with SwiftData

How You Can Help: - Design & Marketing: If you're experienced in iOS app design or creating launch materials, I'd love to collaborate. - Launch Advice: Tips on App Store optimization (ASO), press outreach, or marketing strategies are welcome.

Try the app: https://testflight.apple.com/join/NXM39cys

Thanks for checking out Balance!
