There is a widget that opens the New Transaction screen. Finding the Payee by typing the first 2-3 characters is fairly quick. Add the fact that the app will auto-populate the last used category, which is correct in 90+% of the cases and all that's left is to enter the amount and tap Save. > But if you have to break down that payment into half a dozen different > accounts then you will be spending more that 2-3 seconds to do so.

That's the idea. If you have time, Cashier is approximately at a demo state. You can try it out. Any suggestions for usability improvements are welcome. The point is to have a simple and accessible GUI for creating transaction records. -- --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ledger" group.
