• Enlightenmentware

  I worked with John Wiegley for a couple of years and discovered one of his projects, Ledger (https://ledger-cli.org/), during our conversations. This tool taught me double-entry accounting and helped me understand finance and blockchains on a deeper level. Unfortunately, I’m too lazy to use the tool on a daily basis, so it’s the second most insightful piece of software I’ve never used :D. - Source: Hacker News / 18 days ago

• Double-Entry Bookkeeping as a Directed Graph

  I use ledger: https://ledger-cli.org/ I believe this same plain text format is used by other tools, which you can find info about here: https://plaintextaccounting.org/ (In particular a lot of people seem to use hledger and beancount) The ledger is written using a text editor. The purpose of the software is to add everything up, calculate the balances and make sure everything balances. I keep all of my 12 years of... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

• Double-Entry Bookkeeping as a Directed Graph

  I'm surprised that there is no mentions of a great hacker-friendly plain-text accounting software called `ledger` https://ledger-cli.org/ in this thread. It has amazing documentation when it comes to understanding basic principles of double-entry bookkeeping and goes through many typical situations and usecases. There are also several forks, most popular and advanced is `hledger` https://hledger.org/ (h is for... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

• GnuCash Tutorial and Concepts Guide

  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... - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

• Accounting for Computer Scientists – Martin Kleppmann's Blog

  I learnt all of this by using ledger[0] and, of course, reading its manual. I've been maintaining my own accounts for more than a decade now. It's fun being able to plot my overall wealth and expenses over time. [0] https://ledger-cli.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

• Are there any good billing and inventory management software for linux?

  OpenBravo POS used to be ok, it even worked with barcode readers. But you could also manually punch up a sales receipt and it would adjust on hand numbers automatically. But Open Bravo has moved on to a cloud paid model. However there a few forks from the before time, like Unicenta, but I've never used that one and can only vouch for what it was back in the day.

• ISO: simple, affordable, non-cloud *only*, POS

  I would recommend going with https://opensourcepos.org/ or https://unicenta.com/. Source: almost 3 years ago

• Simple bar/restaurant POS software

  Unicenta works pretty well on a POS that I salvaged from a shop closure last year (no reason for doing so - just thought it would be cool to have one for the hell of it). Runs on Linux as well as Windows if you want to escape Windows Embedded 7. Source: almost 3 years ago

• Those not in IT or CompSci related professions but prefer Linux, what do you do for a living?

  Looks like Unicenta is an alternative POS that can be self-hosted and is licensed as GPL-3.0-or-later. Source: about 3 years ago
