Yes, I've been wanting this for years, probably around 15! I'm experimenting with some OCR Python code but wondering if the time commitment would be unrealistic for me with also learning Beancount, implementing the two, working full time, and having a 3year old and another on the way. Seems like the project for someone single living in their basement <; Anyway, I'll continue to research the code.
So the properly understand the workflow with Beancount, with I don't completely right now, one processes financial data in these steps? 1) Set up Beancount with all your income and expense accounts, the .beancount file(s) are now available 2) Implement Fava with Beancont 3) Host all files to your own website servers 4) Enter financial data through your website by text entry (or Fava GUI?) 5) Process and graph your financial data via Fava on your website Do I have this process correct or am I way off? Thanks everybody. I appreciate the insights here on something I'm currently very ignorant of.
