+ 👻 Ghostfolio – + First months in Open Source +
++ In this article I would like to recap the first months running the + open source project Ghostfolio, a + web-based personal finance management software. +
+From 1* to 100 stars on GitHub
++ When I decided to + publish + the project as + open source software + (OSS), I did not know what exactly to expect. In the worst case, + nobody would care. And in the best case, the repository would be + overrun with contributions. The truth is probably somewhere in + between. +
++ In the beginning, it felt quite weird to develop in public where + anyone can observe the progress. Stupid mistakes remain visible + forever. But this feeling, fortunately, quickly settled. I believe + the benefits like all the learning clearly outweigh the drawbacks + when you just do it. +
++ At the end of 2021, Ghostfolio reached an important milestone: + 100 stars + on GitHub. This is really exciting with almost no marketing. I am a + technical founder, so I prefer writing code over anything else. But + there is so much more to make this project happen: writing + documentation, maintaining bug reports and feature requests, + supporting users and managing the community, keeping the SaaS + running, etc. +
++ Reaching 100 stars will not only attract very early adopters, but + also the early adopters. At the same time, the demands and + expectations are also increasing. +
+What is new?
++ During the last months, Ghostfolio has transformed from a one man + project into a prospering wealth management application with 9 + contributors and counting. User feedback has directly shaped the + direction of the product development. +
+These are some selected key features:
+-
+
- + Simplified self-hosting with an + official Ghostfolio docker image + on Docker Hub + +
- Improved import for activities (transactions and dividend) +
- Enriched market data for ETFs (region and industries) +
What is coming?
+Here is a brief overview of what I am planning in 2022.
++ The goal remains to offer a simple and solid software to manage + personal finances. Thus, the main focus is on the core + functionality. +
++ My personal goal is to reach break-even with the Saas offering (Ghostfolio Premium) and regularly report about the progress and my learnings on this + exciting journey. +
++ I have already started to build a + community + of users. In the future, I would like to involve more contributors + to further extend the functionality of Ghostfolio (e.g. with new + reports). Get in touch with me by email at + hi@ghostfol.io or on Twitter + @ghostfolio_ if you + are interested, I’m happy to discuss ideas. +
++ I would like to say thank you for all your feedback and support + during the last months. +
+
+ Have a great start into the new year and happy investing
+ Thomas from Ghostfolio

* Pro Tip: add the first star to your own open source project
