Sequence has interesting applications for longer-term work I'm on, and/but I'm Baader-Meinhoffing [0] re more-immediate small-biz accounting ledger needs: I spent a good chunk of yesterday in gnu-cash and Frappe books [1] working to import/tag/script Chart of Accounts and transaction info from two banks while aiming to avoid (new-to-me) UI, code base, or Generally Accepted Accounting Principles rabbit holes. Sequence is clearly an API and I ought stick with consumer packages @ immediate needs. I'll spin up the container to check it out in general; Please let me know if I'm mistaken / you recommend specifics it'd be helpful for me to check out and feed back on - [0] - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cognitive_biases#Frequency_illusion https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cognitive_biases#Fre...

You're right. Sequence is a ledger API. These tools will give you higher abstractions on top of their internal ledgers. I think you are on the right track. If you want something extremely simple maybe the Ledger CLI [0] is worth looking at. Try to leverage these higher level abstractions. You don't need deep accounting understanding to import/tag/script a few transactions. [0] https://www.ledger-cli.org/ https://www.ledger-cli.org/
