Hello, I'm new to Beancount, but I have read all the introductory docs, have Beancount installed, an example file showing, and written a first .beancount file. Before I dive any further, I wonder if someone can answer a couple of questions I have not been able to answer, two main questions really.
1) Is this receipt functionality possible with Beancount and Fava? 1. take a photo/screenshot/PDF of receipt when generated 2. software extracts date and amount (possibly including currency) 3. User verifies this date and amount 4. User picks a receipt category from a drop-down menu 5. Software titles the receipt file (.jpg/.png/.pdf) in a consistent format of '*Date_Amount_Category.extension* ' 6. Titled receipt file is saved in (user-chosen-default) directory folder 2) Can I host Fava & Beancount on my own hosted account server and website? Will this allow user ability to access, add, and edit .beancount files through any web-enabled device? I'm no longer interested in using a 3rd-party app for my finances. Having all account passwords and ones financial life in software code which is not open-source, audited regularly, nor user inspected is not a risk I want to take. Hope to keep this conversation going, as with anything worthwhile, I have more questions than answers right now.
