  • hledger

    Robust, fast, intuitive plain text accounting tool with CLI, TUI and web interfaces.

  • Project mention: Double-Entry Bookkeeping as a Directed Graph | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-10

    I'm surprised that there is no mentions of a great hacker-friendly plain-text accounting software called `ledger` https://ledger-cli.org/ in this thread. It has amazing documentation when it comes to understanding basic principles of double-entry bookkeeping and goes through many typical situations and usecases. There are also several forks, most popular and advanced is `hledger` https://hledger.org/ (h is for Haskell), which provides some neat features out of the box, such as a simple web interface. All of them are very primitive compared to "professional" accounting software, but in return it offers great opportunities for hacking around while ensuring validity of your books.

  • awesome-billing

    šŸ’° Billing & Payments knowledge for cloud platforms

  • Project mention: EU suggests breaking up Google's ad business in preliminary antitrust ruling | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-06-14

    In a project I maintain on billing and payments[1], I had a link to Google Ads API. It was documenting how they had hard-limit budget, with notions like "capped actuals" and "monthly with rollover". The explanation was quite good so I keep it around to explain the concept, and why it was perfect for customers to avoid any surprises.

    Then the URL[2] 404'd and the API disappeared. I couldn't find any references to a "BillingCap". I wondered why[3].

    Now it makes sense: they got rid of budgets as you explained above. Everything's seems to be obfuscated behind a quite opaque Proposals/Deals[4] data structure now.

  • Project mention: Double-Entry Bookkeeping as a Directed Graph | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-10

    I've been preaching to use a simpler accounting system for years and even built my own tool for it: https://github.com/ad-si/Transity

    But so far with little success. I think Iā€™m the only active user of Transity.

  • plaintextaccounting

    The plaintextaccounting.org website, a portal to Ledger, hledger, beancount and co. Also the PTA wiki.

  • Project mention: Double-Entry Bookkeeping as a Directed Graph | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-10

    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/
