Simon Michael 2d6b2008f5 tools: "make check" tests the dev environment
Fed up with GHC/cabal constantly assaulting me like Cato in a Pink
Panther movie, here are some shell tests to give me some
warning/reassurance about the dev setup on various machines.
Thou Shalt Not Reimplement Autoconf, but perhaps a little cross-platform
test suite focussed on my needs is a reasonable idea.

hledger

lightweight, portable, dependable accounting tools

hledger is a computer program for easily tracking money, time, or other commodities, on unix, mac and windows (and web-capable mobile devices, to some extent).

It is first a command-line tool, but there is also a web interface and a Haskell library (http://hackage.haskell.org/package/hledger-lib) for building your own programs and scripts (hledger is written in Haskell). hledger was inspired by and is largely compatible with Ledger. hledger is free software available under the GNU General Public License v3+.

hledger aims to help both computer experts and regular folks to gain clarity and control in their finances and time management, but currently it is a bit more suited to techies. I use it every day to:

  • track spending and income
  • see time reports by day/week/month/project
  • get accurate numbers for client billing and tax filing
  • track invoices

Though limited in features, hledger is lightweight, usable and reliable. For some, it is a simpler, less distracting, more future-proof alternative to Quicken or GnuCash.
