Sadly in the USA the prevalence of wireless cc terminals is amazingly low; even in restaurants you hardly ever see them, although this is getting by better, and (same hypothesis) would likely change if chip and pin was required here

Obligatory HN angle: I’ve often hypothesized that if credit cards in the US were chip and pin (like the rest of the world), NJ would support self serve in a microsecond. Eg no way would customers be comfortable handing their card over the

Very hacky -- in both a good sense and a bad sense. Seems like there are tons of SaaS & cloud service offerings which could be overloaded to do this. Eg, why not just use resource Tags in AWS? they are key/value pairs. Or, why not

Agreed. I've been a happy Moneydance user for 10+ years. While I'm a proponent of Open Source software, sometimes it's useful to spend a little to get fit, finish, and support.

I fail to see the point of a curated-but-unmaintained list when you can just go to the GitHub actions marketplace, where at least there are community stars that let you know how popular a given action is.

The ui is no longer there, but there is indeed a wizard for yaml whereby you can select a task and have it generate the required yaml for you. The very cool thing is round tripping works as well.
