Hey, this is cool, I'm looking to switch from a proprietary accounting app to something open-source.
It being open-source is important mainly because accounting apps UX usually sucks for some specific types of data entry and I want to be able to fix that for my use cases to get the annoying job done faster and get back to programming.
I immediately hit some dealbreakers with Frappe though (and filed them as issues, hopefully they are useful), most importantly that I cannot figure out how to delete General Ledger entries (if it is possible at all), see https://github.com/frappe/books/issues/129 https://github.com/frappe/books/issues/129.
In terms of product feedback, I also recommend that you add a "spreadsheet mode" in which you can quickly and immediately edit most of the ledger data in one view, (without having to open popups and so on), with effective search-and-replace. That is a key accounting tool feature to get things done fast. For example, I currently use Banana (https://www.banana.ch/en/features https://www.banana.ch/en/features) which is spreadsheet-based and pretty effective for this task (but could still be a lot better).
