Beancount: Double-Entry Accounting from Text Files
Shameless self plug: ive been building a similar open source command line accounting system
https://github.com/darcys22/godbledger
Its heavily inspired by both ledger and beancount but my biggest issue with them is that text files arnt great for double entry bookkeeping. Having a relational database is the better option which is what GoDBLedger has.
After a certain point a business cant keep track of its transactions in text files because there are simply too many of them, so these systems really only scale to personal finance levels (few hundred transactions maybe thousand transactions).
In addition building plugins that can import your whole text file into a sql system so you can query them is redundant. Just have it in a relational database to start with.
- Have been building an open source accounting system with features for programmers.

Id love for any seasoned golang experts to do a review of my code and highlight any areas that could be improved.

Open Source Is Finally Coming to Financial Services
This has also been my opinion for the accounting industry. Just like c compilers before gcc were proprietary and poor performing the accounting software that exists has many limitations. That means there is a huge opportunity for an open source system to blow them out of the water.
Ive been building one myself but i know there are many more coming for this industry :)

How you can track your personal finances using Python
https://github.com/darcys22/godbledger
I love these command line self hosted accounting software packages. But double entry bookkeeping was invented using ledgerbooks with ruled tables. I feel the plain text dataformats are a regression compared to a sql database. A general ledger just works so well with columns that you can sum.
It also saves you from needing a custom tool like bean-query to replicate sqlite-ish queries because it could have been in a database from the start

Ask HN: Show me your Half Baked project
GoDBLedger https://github.com/darcys22/godbledger
Its the core of my open source accounting system. Its slightly further along than half baked because the core works but that just means you can do double entry bookkeeping on the command line. Currently building a web interface to interact with it which hopefully will attract non technical users

Ledger's NPM account has been hacked
I thought this was about https://github.com/ledger/ledger and was so confused why they'd be on NPM.
Pretty shitty of them to pick the name LedgerHQ after Ledger has already been used for years.

An open-source alternative to QuickBooks
as far as the ledger-cli google groups [1] go, they seem to think it is a proper journal file. It has been fairly tested with OFX imports (https://github.com/ledger/ledger/wiki/OFX-Import) as well bank autosync (https://github.com/egh/ledger-autosync).
In fact, someone also wrote a book on this - https://leanpub.com/personal-accounting-in-ledger/
I will defer if you are indeed building your own competing tool in this space which is better, but holding to the original point of my request - maybe it will be incremental to support your format if ledger-cli format is supported today. versus not supporting any disk format (or inventing a new one).

ledger 3.3.0 released
Very happy to see this release. On macOS Ventura installed via brew, 3.3.0-20230208 is acting like it was built without support for encrypted ledgers. A later commit that gives more info when passed the -v flag would answer the question, but of course I am on 3.3.0 without this commit! So does anyone know? thanks
