Project mention: Beancount: Double-Entry Accounting from Text Files | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-02-13
I’ve been using beancount for almost 1.5 years now, and other than having to explicitly open accounts I love it! I use the fava UI to have all the nice modern visuals: https://beancount.github.io/fava/
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/
Project mention: Show HN: Paisa – Open-Source Personal Finance Manager | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-09-22Fighting with Mint and categorizing Amazon purchases was what initially pushed me down the path into plain text accounting (PTA).
I ended up long down the rabbit hole with auto-downloading Amazon orders (originally with https://github.com/jbms/finance-dl, but then my own custom scraping) and importing and matching them up with credit card transactions using beancount-import (https://github.com/jbms/beancount-import).
This ultimately resulted in me spending a lot less on Amazon - to the point that now doing it manually wouldn't be too bad...

Project mention: Custom Beancount form web app for inputting similar entries easily plus utils cli tool | /r/plaintextaccounting | 2023-10-24The cli tool also comes with the beancount-black formatter as a subcommand. Hope you find it useful.
Project mention: Show HN: Paisa – Open-Source Personal Finance Manager | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-09-22Just FYI if you're used to beancount & fava I started prototyping a more integrated experience for it: https://github.com/seltzered/beancolage . Still early days though.
Project mention: Custom Beancount form web app for inputting similar entries easily plus utils cli tool | /r/plaintextaccounting | 2023-10-24I recently extracted some features and open-sourced them beanhub-forms and beanhub-cli from BeanHub. I needed to find a way for our user to be able to test their custom form locally. I wonder why not just open-sourced it and make it useful to people other than BeanHub users, so I just did.
