This is pretty cool, I'd wonder how it compares to an open source accounting library like double_entry. I guess I'd be hesitant to integrate with an external service if I could accomplish the same thing with a library.
Have no idea if there's a market for this (I'm certainly not a customer), but something none of these libraries are set up to do is convert these balances to erc-20 tokens. The combo of a SaaS with a simple API like this and a trusted mint to sync balances to erc-20 tokens could be interesting.

- theturtletalks 6y agoI would check out https://frappebooks.com/ https://frappebooks.com/. They are building an open-source accounting system like Freshbooks. It can also be used for personal accounting like Mint.
- andriosr 6y agoInteresting, thanks!! I know Frappe, it's from the creators of ERPNext. They are more like a full-suite accounting tool, like Mint, as you mentioned. Decimals.app is a general-purpose API, it can be used for accounting and other use cases if you need to build them and can't use Mint and others.
- andriosr 6y agoVery interesting, thanks for the feedback! I found a couple of similar projects, but not this one, I will definitely check them out. Thanks!
- chrischen 6y agoI'm also interested in these systems as opposed to implementing accounting systems internally myself. How do all of these compare to https://hledger.org/1.2/hledger-api.html https://hledger.org/1.2/hledger-api.html?
