(Yikes :-) So, *cough* I'm actually doing the same think for my kid *cough*, with a tag for each transaction that is related to him. (Digression: the fact that you need the tag to be short looks like due to the current Beancount limitation of having to put tags on the same line of payee/description, which can get pretty long. I'm still doing this in Ledger-CLI --- and generating a beancount automatically from it for Fava and SQL-ish queries --- where tags can be on subsequent (comment) lines so the tag can get long-ish, without being too much of a hassle.) But I'm not exactly sure to understand what's the benefit of Martin rewriting plugin --- aside from showing off the beautiful data model/flow that Beancount offers and which I love, that is :-)). Even with just a simple tag, I can filter all transactions with a simple query, and get a current balance (or filtered ledger, or whatever), where the categories are the "right" ones, in the sense that grocery would be (baby-related) Expenses:Grocery, clothes Expenses:Clothes, etc. What am I missing here?
