Thanks

[John Lord]

Hi Martin,

Just wanted to say a huge thank you for developing beancount. I have been using it now for three months and could not be happier. Yes, it took quite some time to import all my transactions and even longer to figure out the import feature, but it was definitely time well spent. I am using the vim-beancount plugin and that also works very well.

My journey to beancount has been a long one. I have over 20 years of personal accounting experience on Windows, MacOS, and now Fedora. I have used Quicken, MS Money, MoneyWell, Moneydance, Banktivity, and Gnucash extensively and tried/trialed many others. Beancount is the first one that seems to get it right. Indeed, I found many issues with my accounts during the import process that the other software did not find.

Features I really like:

• Multiple currencies.
• Investments. I love the way capital gains are auto calculated.
• Text file and ability to add revision control. Somehow having it in a text file is very comforting!
• Integration with Fava.

I am also looking forwards to your implementation of trading accounts. Otherwise I do not have any other suggestions at this time.

Keep up the good work.

Best regards!

John
