I think I'm giving up at keeping track of my money with Beancount, adding transactions to it is painful, so I always end up procastinating it, and after a couple months of procastination figuring everything out is pretty much impossible...

Maybe I should make my own simpler but quicker tool for that instead...

Hey #AskFedi / #HiveMind,

What do you think of #BeanCount / https://beancount.io?

P.S./PSA/TLDR: It's run by cryptobros. Steer very clear.

#Beangrep 0.6 just released, with support for overriding defaults via environment variables (thanks to J. Pendleton) and portability improvements (thanks to A. Gurgel). https://github.com/zacchiro/beangrep

#Beangrep 0.5.1 is now out: https://pypi.org/project/beangrep/

Now with flag filtering.

#beangrep 0.5 is now out, with a ton of improvements and new features since initial release: smart patterns, inverse matching, link matching, repeating options, searching multiple files, smart case, resilience to journal errors, "anywhere" matching, and even a manpage.

Many thanks to tbm and Justus from the #beancount community for all their feedback and suggestions.

Announcement for #plaintext #accounting geeks: I've released #beangrep, a grep-like filter for #Beancount ledgers. You can find it at https://github.com/zacchiro/beangrep . Feedback, bug reports, patches are welcome.

Last month I learned about #PlainTextAccounting and this month I'm going to give it a try using the #Beancount software.

I have a spreadsheet-based system that I started using and adapting since the early 2000s but it's getting to be quite unwieldy since I recently added a few new e-wallets, investments, and savings accounts. I examined and then was sold on Beancount's system of double-entry accounting and felt it fits my expanded needs.
