Yeah, I think it's fantastic as well. The SimpleFIN syncinc works fantastically, and I'm happy enough that I cancelled my TillerHQ subscription, which lapses this month. There's still a little work to do to clean up some of my older data, but once I get it all rolling nicely, I'll definitely send the developers a substantial portion of what I was paying for Tiller (like $100/year). I've only used it for a couple months, and I plan to play with it a bit in the next month or two as I'm preparing EOY stuff.

For anyone finding this later. Unfortunately I’ve had to come off Actual :-(

While the gocardless syncing works really well, Actuals code for merging transactions is just too flaky for the banks I use. I end up having multiple similar transactions, done on the same day for the same amount, collapse into one and while you’re meant to be able to just set a starting date and an account value, Actual kept on syncing transactions from before the starting date.

I appreciate it’s open source and given I’ve paid nothing I should expect nothing. All good. But there wasn’t any engagement in the discord support section nor any response to bugs filed. It’s clearly under active development but the QA side doesn’t get enough attention that I could get it to work for me.

While I understand they don’t want to accept bugs without repro steps, there’s not enough scaffolding for capturing data and submitting issues inside the app.

I know I could get on that and fix it. I’m not complaining. I’m glad Actual works for many. But the transaction syncing totally did not work for the banks I used and so I’ve had to stop using it.
