I used to use Beancount religiously (before some job and health difficulties left me less capable of tracking my finances as closely.) My biggest complaint was always that I didn't have something like autocomplete/syntax highlighting to cut down on the manual-ness of data entry.
Most of the aforementioned difficulties are behind me, and Paisa looks like an awesome way to help ease me back into Beancount. Thank you! I'm going to try it out soon!
- floathub 2y agoThere is a beancount mode for Emacs that does a lot of what you want, but only really of use if you use Emacs. https://github.com/beancount/beancount-mode https://github.com/beancount/beancount-mode
- freddie_mercury 2y agoThe beancount mode for VS Code is also pretty good with syntax highlighting, autocomplete, tabbing, autoformat, etc. It's what I've been using for years. But I think the "real" answer, especially as more countries get increasingly cashless, is to just import a CSV or OFX every few weeks so you're not actually manually entering anything.
- zburatorul 2y agoIntrigued by beancount mode in vscode. Will try. I do otherwise employ the workflow you mention: automatic downloads and supervised but nearly automatic imports.
