By coincidence I've started my own accounting software last month using ruby on rails. Previously I've been using GnuCash and then move to hledger (hard to beat simple text files) but I've always been missing something that reminds me to type in new transactions (I really don't like automatic imports). I like that honeymoney got envelopes, something I was struggling to use with hledger.

Is honeymoney double accounting, I mean internally?

Anyways, keep up the good work, great to see competition in the market for get-rich-slow-schemes :D

An self-hosted/open source one floating out there too is Firefly III: https://firefly-iii.org/

I tried to make some sense of an hledger thing with a web interface, and couldn't wrap my head around what it wanted me to do. :(

Probably the cutest illustrations I've seen on an app marketing site in a long while. It's refreshing to see some whimsy and personality.

The presentation of information is absolutely excellent too. And you can instantly see what they mean about a calendar view as a default view, with the screenshot, it's really nice.

Fairly impressive overall, +1.

Ha, I even tried to contribute some code to hledger's web interface but I couldn't get the feel for haskell and tbh, the naming of variables in hledger isn't consistent and made it just harder. Or maybe I'm just spoiled from Rails.

firefly, thanks for the tip, didn't know that one. But just look and scroll that screenshot... https://firefly-iii.org/static/screenshots/4.7.0/account.png My personal data goes back to 2012 and I'm all set to import that into my own app very soon.
