Great interview! Thanks Simon.

A journeyman Haskeller here and had been lurking the list. I use hledger
for managing two of my accounts -- one for keeping track of our house
construction, another for a more complicated one-man-company that I
have. hledger works great! Hoping to contribute some day.

Cheers

Good to hear, thanks Ben. No I was thinking the same thing, good idea. Eg 
wikipedia links or better.

Thanks Ben, that's right, I promised to promote that after it went up. (Last 
time! :)

FLOSS Weekly Episode 375, on hledger, is now available for watching/listening 
at:
https://twit.tv/shows/floss-weekly/episodes/375?autostart=false

I haven't watched it yet; it went fast and I hope it wasn't too boring!

Thanks y'all for your questions, and thanks to Randal, Simon, and the FLOSS 
Weekly crew. It's a great show/podcast, you should check it out! (and try to 
get more haskell projects on there)

ANN: plaintextaccounting.org, a new site for ledger-likes

[Simon Michael]

The new portal site introducing and connecting our Ledger-inspired tools, 
previously discussed on the ledger/hledger/beancount lists, is now live. I 
announced it in today's FLOSS weekly show, and now here:

http://plaintextaccounting.org 

Though very basic in appearance, it's already useful to me. I've wanted a 
central place like this for some time, to reduce duplication of effort and to 
help us provide more utility to more people. I hope it makes sense and is 
useful to you as well, and that you'll make it better!

Best,
-Simon

Right, good point.

After thinking about this, I'm not sure it would work in my current
setup.  I have transactions like this:

2015/08/07 Shared credit card payment
liabilities:shared:CC $1000.00
assets:Me:Checking$-600.00
assets:Roommate   $-400.00

I'd like to be able to use two different expressions here to generate
two reports, for Me and for Roommate.  The first report would include my
$600 payment in the running total of what I've paid toward the shared
account; the second report would include my roommate's $400 payment in
her running total.

So, given my current setup, I guess what I would need is a way to limit
by individual related accounts within a transaction, not just their
textual sum.  I was envisioning "related =~ /assets:Me/" in the
pseudo-command above as selecting just my `side' of transactions like
this for inclusion into the report.  I have no idea if that's compatible
with the way ledger actually works internally, though.

(This may not be the best way to record such payments, though it does
make it easy to see at a glance that the correct total amount was paid,
while recording the different contributions.  But I'm willing to switch
to separate transactions if it makes the reporting easier.)

Best,
Richard

One reason this doesn't exist is because there can be multiple related
accounts. I suppose that "related" could become the textual sum of all the
related accounts?

Thanks for your reply!  Yes, I think that --display is not really what I
want.

I think what I'd like to do is limit transactions by the *related*
account, something like

ledger --limit 'related =~ /assets:Me/' reg expenses:shared

I don't see a way to do this using the available expressions, but I'm
pretty new to this; maybe I've overlooked something?

Best,
Richard
