Personally I don't like the yaml-like syntax. I use beancount myself, and with fava (https://github.com/beancount/fava https://github.com/beancount/fava) as the UI.
- erikb 8y agoThis is what I was always looking for. Also loving the approach of having the UI separated. I also don't like the yaml format for the simple reason that not all necessary information is in one line. No idea why a transaction can't be written into one line. Also for people who love plain text, one can checkout the banking format (comes from German banks, so most info is only available in German but here's a summary): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FinTS https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FinTS Gnucash should also support it, but with my bank it always fails. It's certainly not a format I would use for local storage, but it's a good source of structure and edge cases when one thinks about developing or modifying an existing format.
- bobjordan 8y agoThe Beancount/Fava combo is just fantastic. Awesome plugin system, multi-currency, powerful but simple sql-type query language, extremely well tested, active developers, python.
