I think gnucash looking more like actual accounting software is one of the things that originally put me off of it. I didn’t know what double-entry accounting was at the time either.

Totally fair. When you have a lot of history in an app and don’t have any real issues with it, it takes a lot to want to switch to something else.
Do you import transactions at all, or just manually input them?
I switched from ledger to beancount at some point. I don’t really remember what features beancount had over ledger anymore though.
My plan is to try a few of the other suggestions here like Maybe, Actual, Ghostfolio, etc, and if I don’t end up liking them - just bite the bullet and make the effort to pick up beancount again. I’ll have to check out ledger vs beancount again though and see what the actual differences were again.
What was cumbersome around tagging/categorizing in Maybe? I’m probably going to have to install all of the ones I’m interested in at the same time to test them side by side
Have you tried any of the other options by any chance? Anything that GNUCash does well that keeps you using it? I think not having mobile access would be the thing I’d miss the most
Oh wow, Maybe does look pretty slick and covers most of what I want. It looks like it supports importing transactions automatically (without csv files?) but I don’t see much about how that’s configured for hte self-hosted version yet. I’ll definitely try it out.
Paisa looks pretty nice too. I might try it if I can import/convert my old beancount ledger files into it.
Have you compared authentik to authelia by any chance? I use authentik but don’t think I’ve ever tried authelia. I did use keycloak for a bit too.
Thanks for sharing your scripts. Could you create an account in firefly-iii that is just the overall value and have a script that takes the balance from ghostfolio and updates it in firefly-iii?
For Plaid, I went through the process to apply for “production” access and get oauth access to most banks. It really wasn’t bad at all. I basically just said I was going to use it for personal use, not selling anything, and not letting others use it. I haven’t used it much, but did get it approved relatively quickly.
