I used to use spreadsheets for budgeting but recently switched to selfhosting Actual.
For FIRE numbers (investments, spending, etc.), I built my own site that tracks everything:

Neat โ do you manually input data or do you have some kind of scraping set up to feed it? Why a custom site vs pure spreadsheets?
I have it automating as much as I can - fund prices, crypto holdings and prices. Technically, anything it's doing can be done in a spreadsheet, but some of the more complicated stuff (like accessing other sites) is significantly easier and more stable here.
Also does some cool things like the blurring when I want to share a screenshot, calculating what part of my spending is covered by my assets, tracking historical data, etc. Pie charts where I can exclude data points with a click. Includes/excludes data points based on settings.
