Ask HN: Best option for lightweight data persistence for simple local program?
Hey everyone, I want to build a simple program that will allow me to track my financial “net worth” month to month. It will essentially just take a few numbers from various banking and brokerage accounts every month and compare with the month prior.
It’ll probably just be a script I run locally every month. I’m wondering what the best option might be for saving the account values. A full blown db (sqlite or postgres) sort of seems like overkill, and saving to a text file seems to…fragile? Just wondering if anyone can think of some better options for this use case.
