hledger for techies
|
|
===================
|
|
|
|
hledger_ is a remix, in haskell_, of John Wiegley's excellent ledger_ accounting tool.
|
|
It reads a plain text `ledger file`_ or timelog_ describing your transactions
|
|
and displays reports via `command line`_, curses_ or `web interface`_ (click for a demo).
|
|
|
|
The hledger project aims to produce:
|
|
|
|
- a practical, accessible, dependable tool for end users
|
|
- a useful library and toolbox for finance-minded haskell programmers
|
|
- a successful, time-and-money-solvent project within a thriving ecosystem of financial software projects.
|
|
|
|
hledger is free software by `Simon Michael`_ & `co.`_, released under GNU GPLv3.
