paisa VS reckon

My attempt at solving the same problem https://paisa.fyi. It builds on top of https://plaintextaccounting.org/ principles and is available as a CLI/Desktop App.

I came across this on hackernews: https://paisa.fyi/

Looks nice. Aside from the fact that the site is under heavy load (hug of death), I’ve been exploring such projects off late myself.

Also, I found https://github.com/ananthakumaran/paisa to be a really clean and well implemented project on similar lines. It already handles a bunch of asset classes familiar to the country I’m residing in which is tempting me to give it a shot sometime soon!

I am building a Web UI called paisa[1] to visualize personal finance data. We currently have very good command line tooling for this (ledger/hledger/beancount). A Web UI will make it even easier to see what's going on with your finances.

I am interested in knowing what are the common problems you face with command line approach that can be solved via a Web UI

I am working on a self hosted personal finance tool called paisa. It has a rudimentary import page

Reckon works well enough for me.

Or download the gemfile from the releases page on github https://github.com/cantino/reckon/releases/tag/v0.9.0

Thanks for the post Sagar, I'm the maintainer of reckon [1], a tool to help categorize transactions, which I used in ledger. There are a lot of interesting tools for doing plain text accounting [2] and I'm always interested in learning about new ones.

Reckon uses TF/IDF with cosine similarity, but I would be interested to see how you use Random Forest. Please post your code somewhere, I'd love to see it and learn something new!

Hi, I'm the current maintainer of reckon, if you're having issues with reckon, I'd be happy to help. You can message me here on reddit, or, if you have a github account, you can post an issue in the project https://github.com/cantino/reckon/issues

https://github.com/cantino/reckon is really handy. I maintain a token file(used to map a transaction to an account) and run the reckon tool against the bank csv files in non-interactive mode to generate a temp ledger file, make necessary adjustments and then merge it with the main ledger file.
