I've been building an open source Accounting System and have finally the web interface to a point were I can do a Demo vid!
GoDBLedger is meant to be an accounting system for programmers who want to write scripts for their financial transactions, and then give you access to the database so you can analyse the transactions using whatever analytics software you are comfortable with.
Check it out on github:

I also did some cool things with Metabase in an older video, we built a financial dashboard which showed your income month by month live and updated whenever GoDBLedger received a manual journal. That demo video can be found here:
Happy to discuss any an all things about accounting, and would love any feedback that Hackernews has for this project!
Cheers Sean
Right now its just the core functionality. But now I'm starting to think about all the scripts I can run can track everything happening in my personal life. So things like tracking my bank accounts, linking the data with my budgeting spread sheets. So much to build!!
Moreover, other systems too often violate the traditional division of labor that exists between “accounting” - getting the ledger accurately updated, and “finance” - using the ledger for planning, budgeting , etc., by trying to mash-up input and output… It’s great to see the input/output separation here, along with textbook accounting! Well done.
