I'm a longtime user of gnucash and this is a great product to convince me to move to ledger/hledger.
Question for author - Is it mostly a reporting tool or does it work similar to h/ledger where I can input my transactions from paisa?
Question for HN users - have you found ledger to be easier to use compared to gnucash? My challenges have been my lack or ease of understanding on how to input transactions in ledger and also getting good reports comparable to gnucash. It's highly likely I'm unaware of how to use the tool properly but I am not sure where to learn this.
I made the switch to hledger about two years ago and I have struggled using the command line to input my transactions. Right now I use my text editor (nvim) and a snippet engine for my common / recurring transactions. This may be a little more work than just setting everything up to work automatically, but I like it. For reporting, there are some tools which can help with that, I used to use hreports [0], but have since switched to my own script, which exports the data from hledger and queries it itself.
A good (although opinionated) resource for learning how to use hledger is the manual, which goes in depth about different accounting and modeling concepts [1].
