I noticed someone starred this repo recently; from that perspective, the README is out of date. My current work is stuff like brcal/src/lmSync.js with Agoric / airbnb js style etc.

hm... retroactively update CHANGELOG? https://github.com/conventional-changelog/conventional-changelog/tree/master/packages/conventional-changelog-cli

yarn conventional-changelog -r 0 -p angular -s -i CHANGELOG.md

promote brcal/ package to top? or move Capper app down?

web hook works

doesn't actually send transactions. just a notification

hmm... fetch transaction info to browser localStorage? (which dev / project aimed to do that?)

GnuCash assumes exclusive access to DB

so a webhook couldn't do anything without a restart

mmex - maybe?

mmex: pro

• kinda simple like Quicken; mature (snap installation, ...); held up to quite a bit of trial usage
• sqlite3 DB
  • TODO: test whether the app allows updates by other clients
• cryptocurrency support

mmex: cons

• categorizing a bunch of transactions involves bringing up the Edit Transaction dialog for each one. Keyboard navigation is awkward at best; I think the mouse is required for OK
• only 2 levels of categories
• no classes? but I did see custom fields

mintable - so close!

https://github.com/kevinschaich/mintable
kevinschaich/mintable#36

not sure how to do double-entry accounting in a spreadsheet anyway

found via https://github.com/topics/personal-finance

LedgerSMB - overkill

The transaction page looks more like an invoice than a check register item

Moneygo - not there yet

I struggled with basic usage.

I'm looking at a gnucash income / expect chart and I wonder what's behind one of the bars.

chart.js ?
d3?

put Imbalance txs on a calendar; let M accept invitation to signal "my budget" or reply with info about why not. Have a bot send the appointments and hence get the replies. Harvest the replies in bulk and sync with gnucash.

Problem

GnuCash is forever saying "cannot save DB" for which the only recourse I can find is restarting the whole app.

managing mysql is a bit of a pain; it seems like overkill by now.

I'd like to take advantage of Litestream to replicate the DB using s3/minio.

When I exported my gnucash mysql DB to sqlite3 (using gnucash from guix), the result was missing some custom slots from lmSync.js.

Design

• export gnucash column info in CSV
  • using a query on information_schema in dbeaver
• import mysql TSV export files into sqlite3 by enhancing loadTables.js

TODO:

• handle strange quoting in .tsv when importing tables for migration 79ca8fd
• clean up quoting in split_detail
• migrate split_detail from .tsv to .json 4952dea, bb3fd06
• clean-up of date columns (slots.timespec_val, splits.reconcile_date)

when I download my amazon history to a certain folder, auto-import into lunchmoney

systemd user unit like I did with discover

As noted in the 2006 item, I have years of data in this tab-separated format; for example:

3/28/08	D0962	            S	STAPLES 00108084 ANKENY IA	Canon Powershot SD	Stuff:Major:AV	R	-249.99

I played with invisible XML and its playground and turned that into...

<tx num="S">
   <date month="3" day="28" year="08"/>
   <account>D0962</account>
   <description>STAPLES 00108084 ANKENY IA</description>
   <split status="R">
      <memo>Canon Powershot SD</memo>
      <category>Stuff:Major:AV</category>
      <amount>-249.99</amount>
   </split>
</tx>

using...

tx: date, account, @num, description, split.

split: memo, category, @status, amount.

date: @month, -"/", @day, -"/", @year, tab.
month: ["0"-"9"]+.
day: ["0"-"9"]+.
year: ["0"-"9"]+.

account: field, tab.
num: -space?, field, tab.
description: field, tab.

memo: field, tab.
category: field, tab { TODO: split on : ? }.
status: field, tab.
amount: field { TODO: constrain to number syntax? }.

-field: ~[" "], (~[#9])*. { don't start with space to avoid ambiguity in num }
-tab: -#9.
-space: -[" "]+.

TODO:

• handle >1 tx
• handle >1 split
• write JSON lines instead of XML
• find a simple implementation, preferably by aggressively pre-compiling
  • perhaps just use this as a spec for a hand-rolled parser

I downloaded a "complete" transaction report, but the transactions don't add up to the balance. It seems to be missing "transfers".

But I seem to be able to compute the balance using a DOM query:

acs = document.querySelectorAll('*[data-element="AmountContainer"]')
acs.length // 245
ns = [...acs].map(ac => Number(ac.textContent.split(' ')[0].replace('−', '-').replace('+', '').replace(',', '')))
sum = ns => ns.reduce((acc, x) => acc + x, 0)
sum(ns)

To get associated transaction info, I'm starting with...

tis = document.querySelectorAll('*[data-component="TransactionItem"]')

Looking at the configuration of a report I just saved reminds me that it's in guile.

Usually I'm content to use Guile's SQL support to supplement GnuCash features, but I can't do it while GnuCash is running:

the dbi (SQL) backend which comes with GnuCash 2.4 is currently not designed for true multi-user access. -- GnuCash FAQ

I wonder if the guile interpreter in GnuCash would support some sort of API that I could use while it's running.

https://github.com/dckc/finquick seems out of date

contrast with the lunchmoney transaction sync part, which loads all rows at once

How about caching split_detail.json in localStorage?

Compressed should work for search: streaming decompress, split into lines, match.

I thought about weekly html files or uploading quarterly csv files to Google drive, but I'd rather not share with Google.

I've been doing pandas lately, which made me wonder about JS dataframe apis... This ine looks cool...

https://github.com/data-forge/data-forge-ts/blob/master/docs/guide.md#browser-installation-and-setup

But ordinary map / filter should work for this.

Comparing JSON values in a where clause doesn't seem to work in mysql.

https://github.com/dckc/quacken 95cfa9b 2014-12-14

for example, RHOC sale - from explorer. Teach browser to copy transaction(s) to clipboard; then paste and teach finquick to grok / sync.

maybe even account history, rather than scraping or even OFX.

and maybe drag-n-drop for files
