Hi,

I'm building a product that allows users to keep plain text accounting from their favorite messaging apps. To achieve that, I made a syntax for converting one-line message to beancount/*ledger format. For example, if you input the following message:

Dinner #trip 200 bofa > trip

It could be converted to the content below:

2019-07-30 * "Dinner" #trip

Assets:US:BofA -200.00 USD

Equity:Trip +200.00 USD

There are some more features, you can find on https://github.com/costflow/syntax.

I also made a playground, and you can try the syntax in your browser: https://playground.costflow.io/.

If you have any questions about this syntax, feel free to contact me.

Cheers,

Leplay
