Hledger: Robust Plain Text Accounting

Thanks for this. A few questions comes to mind:

1. What was the motivation to create this instead of extending ledger?

2. How to track time?

You're welcome. Re 1, see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20020196 above. Re 2:, check out the timeclock and timedot manuals on hledger.org front page (I use the latter) and my https://hledger.org/Time-planning.html hacks in the cookbook and more https://plaintextaccounting.org/#time-logging tools and https://plaintextaccounting.org/#time-tracking tips.

Excellent. As someone who never learned accounting, I don't know how far I would go, but I would try anyway.
