A demo/tutorial project by Evan You showing how to build a personal finance analytics pipeline using Plaid bank data, Google Sheets, and CircleCI. It fetches transactions via the Plaid API, transforms them, and writes them to a Google Sheets spreadsheet.

Use cases

• build my own mint.com-style personal finance tracker
• pull bank transactions into a google sheet automatically
• learn how to use the plaid api with node.js
• automate personal finance analytics
• sync bank transaction data to a spreadsheet on a schedule
• example of integrating plaid and google sheets apis

When to choose

• you want a hands-on tutorial for wiring Plaid to Google Sheets
• you're comfortable editing JavaScript to customize transaction mapping
• you want a self-hosted alternative to Mint with full control over credentials

When to avoid

• you need a polished, ready-to-use finance dashboard with UI
• you're unwilling to enter bank credentials into a small demo project
• you need production-grade security or long-term maintenance
• you don't want to depend on Google Sheets as a data store
