[BUG] Illustrator bug - Raycast Beta seems to convert copied text layers into outlines

Hi everyone,

I think I found a bug with Raycast Beta interfering with Adobe Illustrator copy/paste.

When Raycast Beta is running, copying an editable text layer in Illustrator and pasting it back converts the text into outlined/vector shapes instead of keeping it editable.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Open Adobe Illustrator
  2. Create an editable text layer
  3. Copy the text layer
  4. Paste it in the same file or another Illustrator file
  5. The pasted text becomes outlined instead of remaining editable

Expected behavior:

The pasted layer should remain editable text.

Actual behavior:

The pasted layer becomes outlined/vector shapes.

Temporary fix

Quitting Raycast Beta fixes the issue immediately. After Raycast Beta is closed, Illustrator copy/paste works normally again.

System details:

  • macOS: M4 MAX
  • Illustrator: 30.0
  • Raycast Beta: Tahoe 26.5 (25F71)

Has anyone else run into this?

Self-hosted app to import your bank transactions automatically inside Notion, Airtable, Actual, Google Sheets and CSV

https://preview.redd.it/u0dgcxwrnv0h1.png?width=1692&format=png&auto=webp&s=f064771fb136921ffc0d079619782ba4166b2017

I was tired of exporting CSVs from my bank every month.. I have a Notion dashboard for my personal finances. I'm quite proud of it, honestly. The embarrassing part: every month I was opening my bank's website, downloading a CSV, and pasting it manually into Notion. For 5+ accounts. Sometimes I'd forget, or paste in the wrong column, and the whole thing would quietly break.

At some point I thought why am I doing this by hand? I know there are plenty alternatives but mostly of them are paid expensive subscriptions, and some are per bank connection.

So I spent a few months building a small self-hosted tool. It talks to my bank via Open Banking (PSD2), pulls the transactions, and writes them directly into Notion. Or Airtable. Or Google Sheets. Or Actual Budget. Or a plain CSV if that's your thing. Read-only. Nothing goes through a third-party server. Just runs on my machine.

If you're dealing with the same thing, the tool is syncbank.app happy to answer any questions below.

Exporting CSVs from my bank every month and manually import.. can be a pain! I have a Notion dashboard for my personal finances. I'm quite proud of it, honestly.

Sometimes I'd forget, or paste in the wrong column, and the whole thing would quietly break.

Self-hosted EU bank transaction sync for Actual, Notion and Sheets

I built this. Sharing because the Docker setup is the core of how it works, not just a deployment detail.

SyncBank is a self-hosted sync layer that pulls EU bank transactions via Open Banking (PSD2) and writes them to Actual Budget, Notion, Google Sheets, Airtable, or CSV.

How it runs:

The app is designed to be deployed as a Docker container. Bank authorization goes through the bank's own OAuth flow — SyncBank never sees your credentials. Access is strictly read-only. Transactions are fetched on a schedule and mapped to whichever destination you configure.

The non-trivial parts under the hood:

Duplicate detection across syncs

Pending → cleared transaction state updates

Retry logic for provider failures

Destination mapping per account

Why Docker-first:

Self-hosting a finance-adjacent tool requires trust. Running it locally in a container — with no outbound data except to your bank's API and your configured destinations — is the architecture that makes that trust possible. No cloud intermediary, no subscription, no data leaving your environment.

Known limitations:

EU PSD2 banks only (UK and US banks are coming)

Not a budgeting app — purely a sync layer

Happy to discuss the architecture or Docker setup in the comments.
Or if anyone want the link.

Please share what you are building, I’d love to give some support if I can!

I will start first. Finally I just launched SyncBank on Product Hunt today.

It’s a self-hosted EU bank sync layer for people who manage finances in tools like Actual Budget, Notion, Sheets, Airtable or CSV workflows. (US-UK are coming soon)

The problem is simple: I was tired of exporting bank CSVs and manually fixing finance dashboards every week, the app cover this problem.

It’s not another budget app and it’s not another expensive subscription.

No hunter, no network, just a solo builder shipping something I actually needed. If you want to take a look or leave feedback, I'd really appreciate it.

I got tired of importing CSVs from my bank every week, so I built a self-hosted sync layer for EU banks → Notion, Sheets, Airtable

I spent way too long trying to get bank data into Notion automatically. Here's what I actually ran into — and what I ended up building.

The no-code finance stack is almost there.

Notion, Sheets, Airtable they're all genuinely great for personal finance. You can build dashboards, category breakdowns, monthly reports, budget trackers..

But there's one step none of them solve: getting the actual bank data in.

The CSV loop is worse than it sounds.

You log into your bank. You find the export section. You download a CSV. You open it, fix the column names, remove the garbage rows. You import it. Then you notice there are duplicates because a pending transaction already cleared — and now you have two entries for the same purchase.

You fix it manually. Next week, same thing.

This isn't a minor inconvenience. It's a recurring maintenance task that kills the habit. Most people just stop keeping the system updated.

I tried every existing option. None of them worked.

  • GoCardless shut down its free tier. What's left is enterprise pricing, not something a solo person building a personal finance system can use.
  • Sync tools that exist either store your credentials on their servers, cap you at 1–2 accounts, or charge a monthly subscription per bank connection.
  • Zapier/Make automations can move data around but can't connect to a bank in the first place.

The root problem: there's no self-serve, privacy-respecting, affordable bank sync layer for EU users building in no-code tools.

SyncBank is a self-hosted app that runs on your own machine. It connects to 2,600+ EU banks across 29+ countries using PSD2 Open Banking — the same standard banks use for regulated third-party access.

Here's how the auth actually works: you never type your bank password into SyncBank, it runs locally on your hardware. Your bank login is handled directly by your bank via PSD2 open banking, while SyncBank only gets read-only transaction access.

It connects to:

Notion · Google Sheets · Airtable · Actual Budget · CSV

You can also push data between destinations — for example, pull from Actual Budget and sync to Notion for reporting.

Syncs every 6 hours automatically, or you can trigger it manually from the dashboard. The dashboard shows run history, sync status per account, and any errors.

Setup uses a guided browser wizard — no technical skills required.

One-time payment, no per-bank fees, no monthly cost.

Launching tomorrow. Early price is still available until go-live — drops after launch.

10-day trial, no credit card: syncbank(.)app

Happy to answer anything about how the sync works, how field mapping is set up, or whether it'd fit your specific stack.

I’m launching SyncBank tomorrow at 10:00 CEST and I’d really value feedback from people who care about privacy + workflows

Hey folks — I’m launching SyncBank tomorrow at 10:00 CEST and I’d really value feedback from people who care about privacy + workflows, grinding on PH is very hard without an hunter..

What it is: a self-hosted, read-only bank transaction sync layer (EU/PSD2/Open Banking) that pushes transactions into tools like Notion, Google Sheets, Airtable, Actual Budget, and CSV.

What I’m trying to learn (would love your take):

  1. Is the value proposition clear in the first 10 seconds? What would you rewrite?
  2. What’s the #1 trust concern you’d have (security, permissions, data storage, “bank access”, etc.)?
  3. Which audience should I target first: Notion finance folks, Actual Budget users, self-hosters, or indie hackers?
  4. What feature or integration would make you say “ok, now I’d try it”?

If you’ve launched something too, drop it herehappy to give feedback and support back (and I’ll do my best to reciprocate tomorrow).

PH Launch tomorrow 10:00 CEST: (create a reminder to get notified)

EU users who left YNAB or use Actual: what part of your bank sync workflow is still manual?

I’m curious about EU users who moved away from YNAB, or are using Actual Budget / Notion / Sheets for personal finance.

What part of your transaction workflow is still manual?

For me, the painful loop was:

  1. export CSV from bank,
  2. clean columns,
  3. import into the finance tool,
  4. fix duplicates,
  5. update pending/cleared transactions,
  6. repeat every week.

I started building a self-hosted EU bank sync layer because I wanted transactions to land in my finance tools without giving up control of the workflow.

The trust questions are the ones I’m trying to get right:

  • what would you need to see before connecting a bank?
  • is read-only PSD2 access enough reassurance?
  • would you prefer open source, source-available, or just clear architecture docs?
  • is one-time pricing more acceptable than another subscription?
  • do you care about Notion/Sheets/Airtable too, or only Actual Budget?

I know there are free scripts and new tools like Bridge Bank in this space, so I’m not pretending this is the only answer. I’m trying to understand what would make this category trustworthy enough.

I’m launching my own take on this on Wednesday. Waitlist is open until then for early pricing, but feedbacks are more useful than signups.

keep parental control pin - but disable asking pin for settings

I’m unable to find a way to disable the PIN requirement for my Fire TV Stick settings.

Every time I open the settings, I’m prompted to enter the PIN. I only want the PIN for purchases and nothing else.

I can’t seem to find any option to disable this PIN requirement from the settings menu.

Who here is still manually importing bank CSVs into Notion?

I've been using Notion as my main finance tracker for a couple of years. The system itself works well — accounts, transactions, categories, dashboards.

The part nobody talks about: keeping it updated.

Every week I'd do the same loop: open bank app → export CSV → clean the columns → import into Notion → fix duplicates → reconcile pending transactions. About 20-30 minutes gone. And one wrong import could break categories or create duplicates that took another 20 minutes to fix.

Curious how others are handling this. What's your current setup?

- Manual CSV import

- Apple Shortcuts / iOS automation

- Make / Zapier

- Custom script

- I gave up and use a dedicated app

What am I missing from this list?

And the follow-up question: if you use a finance tracker in Notion, is the maintenance overhead worth it to you, or has it pushed you to something else?

Does “self-hosted” make a finance product feel safer, or more complicated?

I’m working on a finance-related tool and I’m trying to understand positioning before I push it further.

The problem I’m looking at is pretty simple:

export bank CSVs → clean columns → import into a tracker → fix categories → remove duplicates.

For people who track finances in tools like Notion, Sheets, Airtable, or Actual Budget, this gets annoying fast.

The approach I’m testing is self-hosted: the sync runs locally, bank login happens through the bank/open-banking provider flow, and the tool does not store bank data on my servers.

But I’m unsure how people actually react to “self-hosted” in a finance context.

Does it sound:

A) safer / more private

B) too technical

C) unnecessary unless the product explains it clearly

Curious especially from other solo founders: would you lead with privacy, time saved, or pricing?

Need help with Reddit API app approval for self-hosted Postiz integration

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to connect my own Reddit account to a self-hosted Postiz instance, but I can’t create a Reddit app from reddit.com/prefs/apps anymore.

When I try, I only see the Responsible Builder Policy message.

"In order to create an application or use our API you can read our full policies here: https://support.reddithelp.com/hc/en-us/articles/42728983564564-Responsible-Builder-Policy"

Do someone know how to fix this?
I already submitted the developer request form, but I’m not sure if I used the correct process.

My use case is simple:

I want to use OAuth to connect my own Reddit account to Postiz, so I can prepare and schedule posts from my own account only.

I’m not scraping Reddit data, collecting user data, training AI models, manipulating votes, sending DMs, or trying to bypass subreddit rules. I only need the standard client ID and client secret for OAuth.

Launching SyncBank on Product Hunt Wednesday — what should I fix before it goes live?

I’m launching SyncBank on Product Hunt this Wednesday.

It’s a self-hosted EU bank sync layer for people who manage finances in tools like Actual Budget, Notion, Sheets, Airtable or CSV workflows.

The problem I’m trying to solve is boring but painful:

exporting bank CSVs, cleaning columns, importing them into a finance tool, fixing duplicates, updating pending transactions, then doing it again every week.

Before the launch goes live, I’d love feedback on the Product Hunt positioning:

  • Is “self-hosted EU bank sync” clear enough?
  • Should I lead with privacy/self-hosting or with “stop importing CSVs manually”?
  • Is the trust/security explanation strong enough?
  • Do the screenshots explain the product quickly?
  • Would you understand who this is for in under 10 seconds?

Not asking for upvotes — it’s not live yet. I’m looking for critique before launch.
