Who Says Beancount Documentation Style is Boring !!!!

[Vinit Khandagle]

Well let me start by thanking @Martin for his awesome writing skills and explanation of Accounting. I am just getting into plain text accounting. When I saw that beancount documentation is on google docs, rather than a wiki style or something the usual way. I was like what a lame idea of not working towards getting the documentation in order coz when you have to ask something around most of the time the response is RTFM and if that's not pretty and quick its a disaster reading the docs. 

But as I started reading through the documents, it felt like I am reading a paperback copy of a book. No clutter no fancy coloring or distractions, just plain text to read and the focus is on the content and explanation of concepts rather than having a fancy doc site. I also got to read Martin's argument about using google docs as the platform for documentation and I must say I think the idea is really amazing. I think this is perfect for beancount.

I am really enjoying reading the docs, though I have just started and Martin has a very unique way of explaining the accounting concepts. I just put the browser in Darkmode and voila the text just pop out :)

So thanks to Martin and everyone contributing to the docs.

I Liked this explanation of credit cards "

What we have is a meal sitting in our stomach (a positive number of $ of “Restaurant”)." :)

Thanks for the nice words Vinit, it's always nice to hear from people who are enjoying the production

Though the source will remain in gdocs, I'd like to integrate Kirill Goncharov's super nice conversion eventually

Probably the next version (I'm already making some secret motions and steps toward that... more to come soon, very likely)

Kudos from me too - I learned how the accounting magic works from your Google docs - thank you so much for the really really good writing!
