#ledgercli — Public Fediverse posts

US based ledger-cli users: when working with an accountant for tax filing, how do you usually work with them & send them your ledger? CSV output and balances? Something else? #ledgercli #accounting

After bouncing around ideas and several experiments, I've decided to launch a new project with the goal of creating CLI tooling that facilitates receipt handling for #plaintextaccounting workflows. LLM based OCR and data extraction has improved to the point that I believe it will be possible to make bulk data extraction useful. If you have ideas, want to contribute, or just want to follow along jump in:

@nobodyinperson I'm asking you first because involving #gitannex would be high on my priority list. Really this wouldn't need to be #hledger specific as it could just as well be paired with #ledgercli or #beancount either directly or via CSV or whatever. I'm not a huge GitLab fan these days but can do it if you prefer. Codeberg seems more aligned or GitHub having the advantage of contributor pool. Thoughts?

If you handle your #plaintextaccounting using either #vim or #neovim based on either #ledgercli or #hledger then be sure to update your plugins! The vim-ledger plugin got some much needed love in the last 48 hours with a lot of rough edges smoothed over and a few new features.

If you're a #beancount peep then carry on as before. If you do #bookkeeping without PTA at all then what are you even waiting for? If you use #emacs then this post is in another castle.

```
ledger [[ledger-mode-flags]] -f ~/SyncDocs/dummy_ledger.ldg --format "%(justify((truncated(amount, 8, 0)), (16+(10*((quantity(amount)) - (int(amount))))), 60, true)) %(ansify_if(justify(truncated(tag('doc'), 70, 0), 75, 30, false, color), green if color and tag('status') =~ /albedo/)) %(ansify_if(justify(truncated(tag('status'), 10, 0), 10, 30, false, color), white if color)) \n" reg taller --sort amount
```

For those of you who are into #PlainTextAccounting: Which software are you using and why?

I'd like to finally start personal accounting again. I stopped when #YNAB became SaaS. YNAB's "envelope budgeting" worked really well for me, and I'd like to get back to a similar workflow. (Or, if you think you know something superior, let me know!)

I'm very open to comments and suggestions here, but it has to be open source software.

Tracking investment lots is often necessary to calculate capital gains accurately and to comply with tax law. It's a tricky, increasingly widespread bookkeeping need. This page aims to be a useful guide to the topic, for PTA users and PTA developers.

I do the books of our tiny, tiny company. Because it's so small, I can get away with using #ledgercli!

What an absolute delight it is :D One hour every month, well spent!

Личные финансы в формате txt

Я давно подсел на Obsidian , и мне очень понравилась идея хранения данных в человеко-понятных форматах вроде TXT или Markdown. В таком виде вы не привязаны к конкретному инструменту и вам не надо делать экспорт данных для резервных копий. Данные сами по себе остаются готовые к чтению или модифицированию. Чего мне не хватало, так это хорошего формата для хранения финансовых данных. И тут, открыв очередную трэш-статью , начав читать гневные комментарии, наткнулся на человека, который ведёт расходы в TXT формате. Причём технический человек, со знанием программирования. Это показалось абсолютно тупейшим решением, но... в комментарии ниже, другой человек отписал, что тоже использует TXT для ведения личных финансов. И это уже было подозрительно. Начал изучать вопрос и наткнулся на ledger-cli .

I biked 4,042 km in 2023. 44.1% of that was for recreation; 55.9% was for utility (with 32.0% for my commute). Almost all of this was on my Raleigh Record Ace.

I spent $417.37 on #cycling, including building new bike stands for my office. That's $0.103/km, or $0.185/km if you only count utility cycling. Compare to about $0.40/km driving!

I used #ledgercli to track distances and expenses, and #gnuplot for the graph.

Spent some time wrestling with #cPlusPlus and #debugging in #gdb to give #ledgerCLI the ability to cope with the UK's mad tax year. I blame Henry VIII 👑

Can you ever get kind of excited about personal finance management/bookkeeping? It turns out yes.

After a quick read on YNAB, I think I see what people use [virtual transactions] for now in #hledger and #ledgercli

Interesting, but I don't think I'll use it, I don't need pre-defined budgeting, I will use the regular hledger budgeting for recuring monthly expenses starting next month, though.

I’ve been on an plain-text double-entry personal accounting *bender* for the last couple of days.

I’ve been using #ctags with #ledger for a couple months now. It’s been a complete game changer to update my journal with fast completions and code navigation. It works out of the box with my editor of choice #neovim/#vim and also with other editors, sometimes with a plugin (#emacs, #vscode…).

I’m now sharing the ctags configuration, as this could benefit others: https://cj.rs/ledger-ctags/

Please let me know if you have issues or if some things are unclear!
