I wonder how long we have to wait before we can pitch a machine that presses fruit juice packs into a glass to gullible VCs again.

This is one of the best comments I've read on this site in a long while.

A single, crude, statement of fact slaying the work of a million typewriter monkeys spewing out random characters thinking they're actually writing the Shakespeare novel, lmao.

I think I read about this story

Let's abandon coin flipping in favour of coin shaking then

It's a shake and then a flip. Put your hand on your hip and bend your knees in tight.

I tried Firefly for a year but I could not find a nice workflow with it.

It was a maintainability nightmare. Needed to run 2 instances for my girlfriend and myself. A third instance I think for automatic imports from my bank.

Every 2/3 months whenever the integration with the Spectre API needed to be reauthorized another docker container had to be ran just to hit a reauthorize button. And then it was a battle with duplicate transactions which I could manage to fix but I could never make my girlfriend understand.

Then there was weird philosophy on incoming money in a category. Let's say you have a €200 diner with 3 friends. You pay the whole bill and get €150 back from your friends later. Firefly would tell you you spend €200 euros on restaurants instead of just €50.

Happily back to Ynab now.

Having to record all inbound cash as income was a deal breaker for me. I wanted to like Firefly, but couldn't because of this.

There is literally no other accounting software that works like this.

Nobody used the word decoupling. They just went from being tightly coupled to being loosely coupled.
