Description
Just had this idea for a new convention for defining accounts:
asset checking
asset savings
income salary
income gifts
expense food:dining
expense food:groceries
equity opening_balances
liability credit
liability crippling_student_loan
This simplifies the categorizing of different account types, which mvelopes will need for future features.
This won't change how accounts are added to entries, as they can still be added by their full names (and in fact, by no other way):
expenses:food:dining
If users want to change the name of these top-level accounts, we could add these sorts of options:
call_assets accounts
call_income earnings
call_expenses spending
call_equity whatever
call_liabilities loans
This doesn't replace the default top-level names, so these user-defined names can be used in tandem with the default names:
2020/06/11 * foo
expenses:food:dining 60
spending:food:dining 70
accounts:checking 30
assets:checking 100
In fact, users could define multiple top-level names if they want:
call_expenses spending
call_expenses costs
2020/06/11 * bar
expenses:food:dining 60
spending:food:dining 70
costs:food:dining 80
assets:checking -210
