paisa VS todo.txt-cli

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

FSNotes for macOS and iOS is one I used for a little while.

todo.txt is another thing that comes to mind.

http://todotxt.org/

And of course pretty much all of *nix.

Since at least 2012 I've also been using a text file format from http://todotxt.org/ and more recently I wrote a program that takes a crontab-like list to pre-generate entries on a daily, by-day-name (every Sunday for example), and I also pull in a list of holidays from gov.uk, so they are also populated.

It's a web app implementing the todo.txt format (see http://todotxt.org/). It's an exercise to learn frontend currently, I doubt I could successfully monetize it. Would appreciate any feedback!

That format is really similar to todo.txt format, worth taking a look at http://todotxt.org/ (which in turn has application links).

For todo and schedule I use todo.txt (http://todotxt.org/) a plain file managed by scripts which build agenda and plumber to keep track of unique keys.

The ToDo.Txt format makes it easy to use across devices/software, but this is really limited to ToDos.

Here’s the todo.sh features for those interested. There are several addons for it as well: https://github.com/todotxt/todo.txt-cli

Good idea, something similar to todotxt.org. But no 1) iPhone app 2) you need to sigh up and keep your notes at developers servers 3) subscriptions?! come on!

There are a couple different routes you can go down. If your goal is to learn CLI stuff, it's hard to beat using shell-scripting for a simple app like a todo manager. Storing them in a plain-text file, a little sed/grep/awk and you're well on your way. For inspiration & hints, you might check out https://todotxt.org However, you can rapidly hit performance issues and limitations on available tooling if you stick to just POSIX tools.
