slow as fuckand the engine is not even complex
>>108558702does someone uses that, is it good?
>>108558721Accountants learn with this software.
>>108558721Heard it's good but mainly for small businesses. Normal people are better off with homebank.
>>108558702https://ledger-cli.org
>>108559059>double-entry accounting system that is accessed from the UNIX command-lineI'm having a panic attack just reading this
>>108558721I use it, but I only track my expenses. It's complicated for personal non-business use, but it's ok to get an overview of your finances.
>>108559059I use hledger and am very happy with it. One of the coolest software tools I started using in my life. I learned a lot, too
>>108558747>homebanki didn't know about that one, looks promising. ill give it a try!
>>108558702use banana accounting on linux nigga
>>108558702Aww fuck, I wanted to use this for high frequency trading!!! Noooooo!
>>108559059vibe coded garbage
>>108558702unfortunatelly it cannot be used to do my countries reports
>>108560441i've been using it for over a decade. it's had all the features i need the entire time.
>>108560466as long as you don't update to the new versions
>>108559563I also recommend hledger. There are mcp servers for it now and even dumb models are really good at using it >>108559086It's 99% automated once set up.
>>108558702Just use excel, bro.
>>108561337>mcp serversyess, give openclaw access to all my financials and tell it to fix my budget. what could go wrong?
I've been on ledger-cli for years, I just wish automated postings weren't so retarded, you literally can't use them for their intended purpose (calculating income tax/tithe) because anytime you zero out the balance with money you set aside it'll try to compute tax on that too.I still have to calculate quarterly taxes by hand but otherwise, it's pretty nice as an automated virtual checkbook that doesn't place restrictions on how you enter the data because it's all plaintext, a text editor with autocomplete is a must tho.
>>108558702americans are broke they dont need this kek
>>108558721I use it for tracking expenses and my budgets. Better than Excel and I don't need more.>>108558702Slow how? You enter numbers and hit enter. Wala
>>108561738the duality of /g/. >thinkpad with core 2 duo hacked to run win11>DO YOU NEED MOREfollowed by>why are apps so slow?
>>108558702Who the fuck has time to manually enter hundreds of transactions per month?
>>108559059still don't know wtf the difference between this and hledger isalso tried to reconcile this stuff with my bank statements but my bank does really retarded shit
>>108561755>hundreds of transactionshow much shit are you buying? I just exported all my transactions and I average about 60 per month. I just do it when I check my credit card statements at the end of the month. Logging into all my banks/investment places takes more time than entering it into gnucash>>108561754I didn't say it was slow
>>108561870hledger is more bloated but has more features
>>108561357what’s this excel you speak of?Picrel is all that was ever needed.
>>108562333for me it's sc/org-mode spreadsheets
>>108558702tried installing this and i had to compile hundreds of perl libraries from scratch took half an hour and it wasnt even done right then i gave up
>>108561738>Wala... was that supposed to be voilà?
>>108562886No. Wala, used to call attention, to express satisfaction or approval, or to suggest an appearance as if by magic
>>108558702>>108558721I tried. Quite steep learning curve. Tried to figure out where my money goes and what kind of rent or mortgage I can afford, but I gave up on it. Moved to a cheaper place and just bought my house cash and I just gotta earn more money than I spend and I’m good.
>>108559086Enjoy your non-free software.
>>108564137nigga, you reached the kino solution. no passives
>>108561337>mcp serversplease explain how LLMs could help you with bookkeeping. I'm not very creative
>>108565732>openclaw here's my bank and cc logins, use these to fill in the accounting>openclaw, now go make me rich
>>108564137>bought my house cashOh no anon, that's losing you a lot of money. A mortgage pays for your house in ~25 years with the income from investing the cash...>>108565686>no passivesExcept for food, water, electricity, heating and house maintenance... (If you have your own well or electricity generation, it's maintenance for that instead)
Are there any good open source self hosted finance management tools out there?I tried FireflyIII and ActualBudget but they are both crap.
