       Show HN: Double-entry accounting based personal finance app
        
       Hello HN! I am Aswin Mohan, full-stack mobile + web developer and I
       built PaperMoney(https://getpaper.money). PaperMoney is a double-
       entry accounting based personal finance app. It can help you keep
       track of your expenses, assets, liabilities and your net-worth. It
       is based on the command-line tools beancount and ledger.  I had
       been using beancount to track my expenses for over two years. The
       plain-text accounting and reporting with fava was great, but I
       wanted a mobile based app to keep track on the go. Looked around
       existing solutions but everything fell short when compared to
       beancount. Also the major apps were not available outside the
       United States and only supported the dollar. They were based on
       assigning categories to a list of transactions which I found
       lacking coming from double-entry accounting. So I created Paper
       Money. It's based on double-entry accounting, you can add your
       chart of accounts and add balanced transactions. We'll use this to
       calculate your net-worth and the balances in your accounts.  It's
       built using React Native for the frontend and Elixir and Phoenix on
       the backend. We have support for both Android and iOS. I have plans
       to add automated account syncing and automated expense tracking in
       future versions.  The target audience currently is someone who is
       familiar with double-entry accounting but looking for a hosted
       mobile version. The future versions will be focused on more
       mainstream customers of personal finance apps, which means making
       the app more accessible for people without prior experience with
       double-entry accounting.  I am available at aswin@getpaper.money if
       you have any questions or querires, and excited to hear your
       feedback!  Links: Website: https://getpaper.money IOS:
