Interesting and cool solution, thanks for sharing this plugin! Nice to see 
what others are doing with plugins, beancount, and fava. One thing to 
consider is including a README.md with your screenshots below, and an 
example.beancount to your plugin directory to make it easier to see what 
your plugin does for folks who are new to it.

*my general philosophy to focus on collecting information in the recording 
phase while pushing viewing issues to processing / querying / displaying 
phases. *

Helpful way to put it.
