Show HN: A Simple Investment Portfolio Tracker
Show HN: Zenvesto is a simple investment portfolio tracker that helps users monitor and manage their investments. The platform provides tools for tracking portfolio performance, asset allocation, and investment returns.
Background
- Zenvesto is a web-based portfolio tracker that lets you log stock buys/sells, see gain/loss, and track dividend income — basically a personal spreadsheet alternative with a nicer UI.
- "Show HN" means the maker posted it on Hacker News (news.ycombinator.com), a tech/startup community where founders often launch side projects for feedback.
- Portfolio trackers are a crowded space (e.g. Sharesight, Yahoo Finance Portfolio, Personal Capital); the pitch here is simplicity and no account linking — you enter transactions manually.
- This matters because many investors either rely on clunky bank/broker dashboards or complex spreadsheets; a lightweight, read-only tracker fills a gap for people who want a clean overview without granting API access to their brokerage.
