Yes. I'm aware of that. Your reaction triggered me to think you were going
to use it again as you were enthousiastic about the new possibility for
installation.

I think every user of LedgerSMB would be tremendously interested in having
entry be "blazingly fast". Could you provide a bit more detail on how you
achieve the fast entry? Maybe the entry methods in LedgerSMB can be adaped
to allow it?

Assuming you have a company, don't you have to file taxes? If you don't
have a company, I'm very interested to learn why you keep books at all.

So far I think this is a matter of process, not of tooling. Is there
currently anything that's preventing you from doing this? I have actually
used LedgerSMB on a tablet; I'm thinking the small screen of a phone will
probably inhibit productive use of the UI in general (although I can
imagine specific use-cases where a dumbed-down UI would work pretty well
with mobile applications -- shipping and receiving comes to mind).
Again, I'm very interested to learn how you're solving the data entry
problem on your phone at this point; hoping there's something to be learned
for LedgerSMB.
