    If it helps anyone, I wrote a blog post[0] (based on this comment[1]) explaining how double-entry accounting works. I have recently been thinking about building my own program that implements double-entry accounting in a more approachable form for individuals. I’m not sure if pure accounting concepts are ideal for the average person for keeping track of their budget like how they are essential for businesses. My bias says yes, but perhaps a greater amount could be handled in the background to present a more intuitive interaction for those unfamiliar with accounting concepts. Currently, I prefer using ledger[2] to GnuCash, but I appreciate that both exist.
