Ledger is beautiful. I actually wrote a web frontend (Django) for our company. It downloads the transaction history using aqbanking which implements the HBCI protocol (a german standard for accessing banks). My colleague then assigns accounts to each transaction.

It's given us a much better and more current view of where we are financially. We can actually display our runway on our Geckoboard dashboard in the office!

Next step: use D3.js to create monthly reports you can really drill down through.



Would you consider open sourcing the frontend?


Hadn't thought about it yet, since it's pretty tied to our workflow. The web interface itself is pretty basic CRUD.

Thinking about it now, it does tie together some interesting parts. I'll clean it up a little and put it out there as soon as I have some time. If anyone's interested in it at the state it's in now, just give me a shout.
