plaintextaccounting VS wire-server

I use ledger: https://ledger-cli.org/

I believe this same plain text format is used by other tools, which you can find info about here: https://plaintextaccounting.org/ (In particular a lot of people seem to use hledger and beancount)

The ledger is written using a text editor. The purpose of the software is to add everything up, calculate the balances and make sure everything balances. I keep all of my 12 years of accounting in one file and haven't noticed any slowdown. But a real business would surely have many more accounts and may want to split files by financial year or something.

I use helper scripts to convert the data from my bank CSV downloads into ledger format. It uses machine learning to associate payees to accounts (e.g. "Tesco" gets filed to the account "Expenses:Groceries"). I haven't maintained the ML part although it works for me most of the time. In case it's useful, the code is here: https://github.com/georgek/accounts/

I invite you to hang out in the https://plaintextaccounting.org/#news-discussion -> chats, we like to discuss tactics.

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.

The plain text accounting options are by far the best if you're willing to give up automatic pretty navigation and graphing.

Same: see also https://plaintextaccounting.org/

...the gist is "ledger.exe" (crufty-old-C-program) is the "perl" of plain-text-accounting. The implementation _is_ the specification.

"HLedger" (haskell) is the mostly-compatible ("now you have 15 standards!") which cleans up a bit of the crufty accidents and is considered more "pure" and "correct".

Mess with it for funsies, and consider using `hledger-ui` for browsing. It's really really powerful!

Specifically this part is super cool: https://ledger-cli.org/doc/ledger3.html#Commodities-and-Curr...

...and: https://ledger-cli.org/doc/ledger3.html#Currency-and-Commodi...

Implied exchange rates, arbitrary commodities/inventory. It gets into really heady territory pretty quick.

Does anyone know of in the spirit of something like plain text accounting (https://plaintextaccounting.org/) but adapted to integrate the complexities of a wealthy family? I intend to implement something myself, but was interesting if there was anything else out there.

The point would be to design something that substitutes for Addepar but with a sensibly organized sqlite db and csvs as "first class" sources of truth (and scripts to handle a variety of common functionality).

So it is really an exercise in understanding the correct architecture of various hierarchies, relationships, and categories in the context of a wealthy family.

All the major software out there just does not seem very good, have a principled handle on the fundamental and primitive relationships and operations that describe a family's financial affairs (everything done on an ad hoc basis). And because of this, entail complete data/platform lock-in.

I use Beancount; learned at https://plaintextaccounting.org/.

I use ledger (https://plaintextaccounting.org/) to manage my transactions in plain text and then generate reports. I copy/paste the transactions from pdfs received monthly in an Emacs Org file and then convert them to ledger format using ob-lc (https://github.com/jayrajput/ob-ledger-convert). There is a steep learning curve, but the results are awesome.

Use encrypted messaging apps. Several apps allow you to connect with others securely if you're using a smartphone. These include Signal and WhatsApp (both owned by Facebook), as well as Telegram and Wire (owned by Google). These services use end-to-end encryption, so they don't store any data on their servers or share it with anyone else.

For work each service it its own cabal project, and has src/ (the service) and test/ (in 3 styles)

Haha. I stated using reddit after finding it when wire.com. Back in the day the top 10 reddit posts would show on Wire. This was around 2006/07. I specifically remember there being a science. You made me think, maybe I'm losing my mind so I checked into it. Sure enough there is a timeline available. Here is a 2007 accolade for r/ science, " For most of the year, "science" and "programming" are the most popular subreddits. I like the info for year 2008, "This year is dominated by the launch of numerous new subreddits." I do appreciate how confident you were in your incorrect answer though. You are probably a Digg.com refugee.

Is there any way if I self-host element, I can make it completely private? like somehow to remove the explore room option? like the users can't join any public room kind of what rocket chat does. or even wire.com. is it possible ? i want to make it completely private for the company

Also, I use it for my work @ https://wire.com
