I have been using ledger to keep track of my expenses. It is simple, it doesn’t interfere with my workflow, and I can edit data with my favorite text editor Emacs, because ledger only deals with plain text files.
I’m again in this time of my life where I’m looking for a new long term project to work on. Because optimization is my favorite way of procrastination, instead of just making a Curriculum Vitae (CV) for job applications, I decided that I need to implement an org-mode export backend.
