Beancount Revisited

Hey Everyone (and esp Martin!), After over 10 years on my TODO list I've finally gotten around to migrating to Beancount. It's Awesome! I'm glad I waited from those early versions, as the product has really come along and is a pleasure to work with. Of course, I've fallen into most of the

Thanks for the nice words Vinit, it's always nice to hear from people who are enjoying the production Though the source will remain in gdocs, I'd like to integrate Kirill Goncharov's super nice conversion eventually Probably the next version (I'm already making some secret motions and steps toward

New to Beancount, but already loving it! Automating imports from PDF statements was surprisingly straightforward. Using subprocess.run() to calling tabula-java with the --guess flag yields excellent results. Now I am tackling salary postings. I would like some advice on how to handle
