Part of it is the English-as-a-second-language vibe. "Privacy-first money tracker" feels very clumsy to me as a native speaker, and I have zero interest in giving my financial credentials to an open-source product that... I also have to pay for?

Bottom line: financial products require an incredibly high degree of trust for most people, and this feels very much like the work of a sincere developer working alone and without a lot of product design experience. All the little issues (copy, design, presentation, unknown solo developer) that would be forgivable in a product of any other kind become red flags and deal breakers when my finances are concerned.

I hope this is helpful feedback! Keep on building!

I hope Google isn't so transparently bigoted as to ban content from ESL writes.
