Show HN: Paisa – Open-Source Personal Finance Manager
Fighting with Mint and categorizing Amazon purchases was what initially pushed me down the path into plain text accounting (PTA).
I ended up long down the rabbit hole with auto-downloading Amazon orders (originally with https://github.com/jbms/finance-dl, but then my own custom scraping) and importing and matching them up with credit card transactions using beancount-import (https://github.com/jbms/beancount-import).
This ultimately resulted in me spending a lot less on Amazon - to the point that now doing it manually wouldn't be too bad...
-
Beancount getting started - how to
I personally started with beancount-import to process QFX/OFX files from my bank. It's a nice product, because it automatically joins both sides of a transaction for transfers/payments from one bank to another, and has some auto-categorization features. But it does take some work to understand and get running.
-
Dealing with existing entries in beancount-import
Some skimming of the OFX import code indicates that the importer manages the duplicate detection itself. Since it looks like you need to pretty much write a CSV importer yourself, you'd probably have to manage the uniqueness using some identifier from the CSV file.

Tracking prices of products
These HTML are stored in a common folder, then parsed by beancount-import using the built-in importer for Amazon Invoice HTML files from that project. The author of that project wrote/uses finance-dl to get his Amazon invoices. At one point, his download code wasn't working for me, so I wrote my own. Independently, for reasons I no longer remember.

Trouble with setting up beancount-import
Now, I'm trying to set up the bean-import (https://github.com/jbms/beancount-import) module but i have run in to some problems.
-
How do you handle the same transaction coming from multiple sources?
I handle them with Beancount and beancount-import. beancount-import identifies duplicate transactions and merges them automatically. It handles both the case where two import sources have the same transaction (e.g. your bank account/credit card situation) and the case where there's an existing manually-entered transaction that also exists in an import source.
-
How do you use Beancount?
What I use a lot is https://github.com/jbms/beancount-import. Since I know a bit of python I was able tweak the importer for my bank statements. It helps a lot.

Bank balance and the delay in transactions posting- how to solve
I use beancount-import which does a great job of allowing for multiple sources of data (including manual entries) and matching up postings from multiple sources. It helps a lot for my particular use.
-
Interactive tool to match imported transactions against already existing manual entries
It's the wrong underlying toolset (beancount instead of ledger), but otherwise you're describing how beancount-import works.

How to read code on github?
For the first repository, gnucash, it appears to be a C++ application. The common convention for a C++ app is to have the "main()" function inside a source file with the same name as the library, e.g. "gnucash.cpp". And sure enough, here it is. If I didn't think to guess that it was in that file, I could always just download the repository and do a CTRL-F for "main(". That would lead me to it immediately.

Anyone remember the old software program, Microsoft Money?
I also use GnuCash as accounting package (since 2008) for my business and it's great. Never had any issue with it.
