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.

Ask HN: Who Wants to Collaborate?
I’ve been building an open source accounting system in go.
https://github.com/darcys22/godbledger
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

The Design Philosophy of Great Tables (Software Package)
Why do you want to render to canvas?
Perspective seems to be the most performant html table. It is more focused on extremely fast updates than styling, although it looks good.
Glide is a newcomer that also renders to canvas.

SQL workbench also uses https://perspective.finos.org/ for tables. It's a WASM table library which pairs nicely with duckdb and works well with large tables.

Show HN: DataSheetGrid, an Airtable-like React component
I haven't looked extensively at react-datasheet. It looks like it is trying to build more of a full product than the other data tables.
I have used ag-grid extensively, its an impressive product. Some pieces are a little awkward to use, particularly auto-sizing. But generally ag-grid has thought of most functionality and has a solution. The creator of ag-grid had a great interview on Javascript Jabber [1].
The other serious data table component that I have seen is FinOS Perspective [2]. This is extremely high performance, also more specialized and probably harder to customize. I think Perspective renders to a canvas element from Rust/C++ compiled to WASM (not 100% sure). It is also made for streaming updates.
AG-Grid supports streaming updates... but only in the commercial version.
Eventually the data model for these types of tables becomes tricky. I will be investigating parquet-wasm for my use case. Hit me up if you want to collaborate.

ChDB: Embedded OLAP SQL Engine Powered by ClickHouse
Something like https://github.com/finos/perspective ? We use an OLAP(-y) WASM engine to provide query-ability to our data visualization tool, and doing the calculations in the browser is cheaper and simpler than a server-side database for datasets that fit in browser memory.
