I'm interested to see where this goes too. FWIW, I'm pretty a pretty happy user of ledger: http://www.ledger-cli.org/
It would be nice if the internal format that camlistore ends up using is compatible enough with ledger that it would be possible to import ledger transactions into camlistore and to import camlistore transactions into ledger. Ledger has a lot of reporting capabilities and being able to use it to do the reporting on transactions sitting in camlistore would be one way to quickly get a lot of functionality without writing it all from scratch. A few months ago a small group of ledger users got together to hack on it and it was hosted at plaid. There isn't any official connection between plaid and ledger; but one of the plaid employees is an advanced ledger user. - Gina On Thu, Jan 5, 2017 at 11:10 AM Eric Drechsel <[email protected]> wrote: > Partially answering my own question: whitelisting a few categories like > Food and Drink, Recreation could probably catch 90% of in person > transactions, with some false positives.
