+## Backstory
+
+The Maybe Finance team spent the better part of 2021/2022 building a personal
+finance + wealth management app called "Maybe". Very full-featured, including
+an "Ask an Advisor" feature which connected users with an actual CFP/CFA to
+help them with their finances (all included in your subscription).
+
+The business end of things didn't work out, and so they shut things down mid-2023.
+
+Having spent the better part of $1,000,000 building the app (employees +
+contractors, data providers/services, infrastructure, etc.) they decided to
+revive the product as a fully open-source project. The goal was to
+let you run the app yourself, for free, and use it to manage your own finances
+and eventually offer a hosted version of the app for a small monthly fee.
+
+Which they did.  Offer a hosted version for a short while.
+
+That didn't work either (well, the "making it a sustainable B2C business" part
+didn't) so here we are hosting a community maintained fork hoping to keep the
+codebase alive and who knows what else will come next.
