Thanks for the link! Well, as I said I won't have time to implement this soon. What I might do is work on features I personally need. I use ledger as my primary accounting software for my freelancing activities, and I have a bunch of scripts to generate reports. I might try to move some of the code into regdel. I would like to have a screen where I can see a barchart showing where most of my incomes and expenses come from.
