Can someone explain the revenue model and the problem being solved? Also, why would I, as a Melio user and bill payer, make a bank transfer to Melio instead of my supplier directly?

Thanks for these resources. It looks like all of them are for frontend-only cases though?

Interesting, particularly useful for power users and high frequency usage products. Have you researched which applications have the highest penetration of keyboard usage and why? Afaik most users even on desktop apps (e.g MS office suite) c

For thousands of transactions per month yes, API would probably be the way to go, but for up to a few hundreds we found spreadsheets work well and allow for easier bulk changes than other accounting softwares.

Couldn't catch the reason behind the "one column per account" layout – you mention it's to show splits, can you elaborate on this? In WeKeep all general ledger transactions can be looked up under Reports > Account Tra

I personally also like software that allows you to become a power user. GnuCash is one of them, but unfortunately not accessible to the vast majority of people –- too nerdy :P (not a criticism!). Most people don't want to learn account

I think the limiting factor on my side is the complexity of the DOM – each cell contains a few more nodes, as opposed to most of the demos you will find which usually contains a simple node. Also, I'm not virtualizing horizontally yet

Hi – Our target market is small companies who need to move to a double-entry accounting software, typically because they need to start doing accrual accounting, or because they got investors on board, or e.g. they need to start filing VAT;

I'm running Django in the backend with Postgres. That's right, I'm using react-virtualized right now with a customized react-datasheet. I found it's a good first iteration, as even fully rendering 100 rows will result in

Got it. If I may ask, when you say not in target market, meaning you're not a startup, or prefer non cloud solutions, or something else?

Hi Emile(?), I have the i18n feature but haven't included French (yet). Language switch is only visible in countries where I've enabled it and where there are more than one language. Besides sending out invoices to customers in F

Hey – thanks for this. That's exactly right, the phase of switching from spreadsheets to a double-entry accounting software should not be painful. With WeKeep you can continue recording stuff as you were doing in a spreadsheet, but yo

Thanks for the feedback! That's right, this is a cloud-based app. Mind if I ask, why was your experience poor with Quickbooks?

Thanks for taking the time to test it out and write this feedback! Definitely one of the main hurdles to overcome is gaining trust from users. Right now the approach is to take it slow and gain users one by one, starting with the ones who a

Hey all, Nadim here, I'm the founder of WeKeep. In my previous startup I found that Xero and Quickbooks are not suited for our needs; that they are more geared toward small businesses that need to issue invoices to customers and for ty
