WorkOS
The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
I have been using plain text accounting for almost a decade with my wife. Specifically, I use beancount (https://beancount.github.io/docs/) and a custom set of scripts that I have developed to categorize expenses and other features (https://github.com/luciano-fiandesio/beanborg/)
I reckon is not for everyone, since a lot of stuff takes place in the terminal, but it has been working very well for us.
I invite you to hang out in the https://plaintextaccounting.org/#news-discussion -> chats, we like to discuss tactics.
