You're asking for what amounts to a cloud-centered version of GnuCash
which means a cloud-based server somewhere has to store the financial
data of you and every other user in a (ideally, hopefully) secure
fashion (open source has nothing to do with it).  What group of
volunteers do you think would step up to that type of liability never
mind the costs involved in running it?
