At long last, I have made some progress on the Ledger. Jenkins kindly informed me that it had been five months since I had published anything on it. I overcame a major hurdle though – it is now at a point of minimal functionality where I can use it myself. The biggest thing it is missing is an editor for entities, which I don’t need right away. I imported all of the entities from the previous incarnation of the app, which was a java desktop application.
Of course that is not very helpful for anyone else who wants to use it, so that is my first priority as far as major features. After that, probably password recovery is next; one thing I noticed immediately about the Wishlist app is that everyone forgets their password right away.
After that, bank name associations are probably next. In order for the app to really be useful, it needs to be able to associate the various places you spend money with the names that the bank gives them. These names often have various numbers and symbols in them so it is helpful to have a flexible mapping between the two.
So, check back here for updates! I am sure I will encounter many fascinating and amusing issues as we go.
