Any tips on sharing PTA with a not-so-technical spouse? I've been looking at beancount which also has a nice looking web app.


Mine uses hledger-web, with her own journal file on her laptop. I have installed a bash script that she can find/run from Spotlight Search, or double-click on if she opens the folder, which starts up hledger-web, which in turns opens a web browser tab, for data entry and review.

She has another script which can generate/update/open monthly year-to-date HTML reports.

At end of year (at least), I handle journal file rotation, apply any desired fixups, commit to version control, and produce some checked/cleaned-up HTML reports.

We also track some shared things in a google spreadsheet. I import from there to my own PTA journal each month, as an end-of-month adjustment.


Nice! Thanks for sharing. I'll have to check that out. I'm not great at hacking with Haskell (thus have been leaning toward Beancount), but a decade of running XMonad has convinced me of Haskell's merits.
