I love the idea of command line accounting and having books based on git, but my primary use case is accounting for a shared account with my non technical life partner. Has anyone tried navigating the hurdle of introducing a non technical person to a tool like Beancount?

Show them fava https://beancount.github.io/fava/ https://beancount.github.io/fava/. Offer the url; they can comb through it all at their own leisure. "Here let me show you." Mine likes the pretty graphs. As I enthusiastically explain them, the eyes start flickering elsewhere, attention rapidly dwindles, and trust is effectively reassured for another month, or six.
