Yeah this is exactly what I do under the hood. All the data is stored as Ints, charts use double for speed, views use decimal to display stuff properly in the user locale. P.S. Dou…

Thanks. After all I'm a human too. I'm prone to AI psychosis.

Thanks :)

I was contemplating between hledger and GnuCash for a while and then choose GnuCash because it has pretty good UX for transactions entry. The missing piece for me was a mobile app.…

In hindsight do you think it was an right decision or too "pure"?

Thanks for idea. I think I'll do another more techy article on this.

Agree on this. Current situation is kinda broken: - people do not trust Plaid and Finicity - data is captive inside of bank portals - each damn CSV has it's own format

God damn it! I did not bother to check the treasury. Thank you for catching mistake - I will correct it. I knew there will be something to hunt minor units.

Yeah. Likely so. While at the same time, they may have some other reason - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g9S6qD_Wylw

Did not know that. Will update the article. Thank you!

I'm using a free version, so if an LLM suggestions slipped in - it only a couple of them.

Thanks for the info! But did you guys thought about fractional commodities those days? Or was it clear that it is going away?

I think it's because thought-process is done in Russian, translated into English and the checked for grammar mistakes with Grammarly.

Thanks! I believe blogs and indie products should have personality - otherwise it so easy to overlook them.

Thanks!

Do you do budget in GnuCash or somewhere else?

Yeah, I'm just a developer mostly chatting with LLMs. I hope I'll develop a distinct style some day.

Yeah, I thought about it when I first saw the coin cut into pieces - https://www.pirateglossary.com/glossary/pieces-of-eight But then why didn't they cut it into 10 pieces - https:…

hm, I don't have any other ways to prove it. The thing is - I thought this is something LLM can't write about. Just imagine a prompt: "Hey Claude, go ahead and come up with idea wh…

Yeah, sorry. It's kind of intentional. Did not want to give it a boring name like "Storing fractions vs decimals".

yep, I'm Ukrainian

haha, true. Thing is - I'm not a English speaker. But I chat a lot with Claude/ChatGPT - i feel like I'm picking the style from them unintentionally.

Agree. I wish banks have their APIs open. It's 2026 and we have OIDC. But I used to actually pull the CSV once a week and feed it to GnuCash. It's pretty good at auto-categorizatio…

Lived through something like this after USSR collapsed and before Hryvnya was introduced. Boy I remember the bread cost - 10,000,000 :D

Curious what made you think it's AI slop?
