Hi, a bit longer answer:) The short term plan is to make it support our use-cases really well + if we get any suggestions or wishes from other users. Then, the longer term depends a bit on the feedback from the community, whether there is interest or not. My plan is to make it into a powerful accounting tool, combining the CLI+Text, with graphical capabilities and help of IDE. So in the future it has some chance to grow its user base out of programmers who are forced to do finances/accounting, more towards accountants and non-programmers, while still keeping the full CLI appeal.
At the moment I use it as a main personal finance tool, and a backup accounting tool for my company, so I can quickly do my own reports and decisions based on the finances, without the need to wait for the accounting department to give me insights. I find it really useful for this task and this is what made me write the plugin, to make it easier and faster to maintain a ledger copy of the financial data. Currently it does: - Syntax highlighting [dates must be 2020/11/22 - Accounts autocomplete - Marks invoices that are unpaid, and over the payment deadline - Marks uncleared, but not over the deadline transactions Short term plan/need: - Add the rest of date formats - Autocomplete for tags - "Jump to definition", and "find usages/references" for tags and codes - Ctrl+click jumping for tags/references/codes/dates where there is 1 possible resolution - "report views", where a pane or window in IDE shows real-time view of the user's custom given "report command", i.e.: "ledger bal ^Expenses -p 2020" - copy-paste translation from TSV/Som EU/Slo + bank of America banks, where paste into IDE converts to ledger format, in a similar way as IntelliJ converts Java into Kotlin. We need this because some banks lack proper secure APIs to do automatic export - generate PDF invoices from ledger transactions - live documentation helper/ledger hints Longer term: - automate PDF invoicing + sending for recurring invoices such as monthly maintenance - proper bank data import - sync with main accounting system - graphs - Graphical IDE windows for reports Something in this direction. Of course now this is on a slow track, as it's not our company's main activity, but because I found it a very fun and engaging task I add it to the market, to see whether there is any interest.
