How do you record currency conversion in #PlainTextAccounting double-entry bookkeeping?
Like if I sell 1 LINUX share for 100 USD, does it look like:
```
2025-11-13 ! daytrading
Assets -1 LINUX, 100 USD
Income -100 USD
Expenses
```
Or something else? I never quite understood how this worked […]

I'm trying to learn #PlainTextAccounting to help me keep track of my father's estate (using #HLedger) since I was named executor.
But, https://plaintextaccounting.org/FAQ links to an "Accounting Basics" URL that (has changed? and) not longer has the information, but is rather a missing anchor […]

I just released 1.1.0 of #HLedger Formatter, my VSCode extension adding autocomplete and autobalancing. Autocomplete scans all "!included" files in your workspace to build up a catalog of suggestions based on categories you actually use. #plaintextaccounting #OpenSource

Spending summary artifact created from HLedger data using MCP
Adding an HLedger entry from a receipt pdf
I've found #plaintextaccounting with #hledger to be an absolutely _perfect_ match for MCP's. Attached are two neat examples.
1) Creating a visualization from the data within the journals.
2) Easily adding new entries from a receipt. Just drag the PDF in and... 🎉

I've been experimenting with doing plain text accounts using #ledger-mode in #Emacs to get a better handle on my finances, particularly in relation to share investments. On my blog I have posted a simple walk-through demonstrating what I have learned with regards to using these tools to help […]

Today I scrapped all that (yay for backups!) and simply added the savings goal to the name of each account. Thanks for the tip on the forum, Simon (the creator of hLedger)!

Forgot how nice ledger-cli and hledger are. Just finished adding them to my personal neovim setup and it’s quicker than quicken now. #plaintextaccounting

After 7 months of #plainTextAccounting, insights are starting to flow. Honestly I have no idea how I'd have tracked all this without a) paying a ridiculous amount of $ every month, b) locking myself into an app that doesn't do what I need it to, and c) makes it hard to move somewhere else!

Really getting into plain text accounting with hledger. If you are like me and hate anything to do with accounting, but coding scratches an itch, this could be for you. I now have the same control over my financial transactions and reports as I have over my source code. #plaintextaccounting

Tried to install hledger on my new laptop yesterday, and found I’d forgotten how. Luckily I had Johnny’s instructions to refer to! All up and running again now. @johnnydecimal@hachyderm.io #PlainTextAccounting

Also, keeping track of job reimbursements from travels or purchases, the small amounts of money lent to/from people here and there, tagging kid-related things, mortgages and planning for the future.
#plainTextAccounting can be molded to do all of that and much more as you can write custom […]

A ridiculous pile of receipts covering a square meter of floor, next to a big shopping bag stuffed full of more receipts
Yay, I finally caught up with :hledger: #hledger #plainTextAccounting 2024! 🥳
In total it took me ~50h to import/write/reconcile/sort/... these ~1500 transactions, so in theory 1h/week should suffice.
I do it very thoroughly since 2017 and enter even the […]

Today, for the first time in several years of reading, I seem to be getting the hang of #plaintextaccounting 1]. Whenever I have read the #beancount 2] docs in the past, I have found the concept incredibly difficult to understand. However, after stumbling across the [#Hibiscus project [3], with […]

Going through #beancount's documentation and being overwhelmed when it's supposed to be the "easier" of the #plaintextaccounting tools (compared to #ledger) makes me feel a lot of trepidation for trying to set this up.
Almost all the documentation for these tools seems to assume you already […]

Having way more fun than expected writing bank importers for #beancount. Can't wait to get things flowing seamlessly enough to actually keep up with my finances on a monthly basis instead of scrambling at the end of every year
