Akaunting - Free Accounting Software
-
So far, the main way we figure how to package is go to the app wish list category and sort by most voted. We know this has a couple of pitfalls - a) only 20% of actual cloudron users are on this forum. we haven't figured out how to get people to join this forum
Most people don't even know about it, it seems. b) the upvote button is not very obvious in nodebb. We wanted to spend some time making that a little more prominent. -

Email all subscribers with subject "Which apps do you want in Cloudron?" or similar and direct people to the App wishlist? Include screenshot of upvote button. Do this once a quarter?

20% is very good
marketing say pat your the back when you are around 10% of response
I just discover theDeveloping an app that can be packaged for Cloudron? Get a free license with our App Developer Programthat should also have more drive than a small emphasisSurvey by email will make only your crowd annoyed and you being mark as a spammer.

Taiga or Loomio are good apps for that but if Cloudron have already have a "hard time" to drag people to vote via the forum adding another layer/application is not the solution
invitation, incentive and education are -

Which apps do you want in Cloudron?
I'm might be an unusual but when it come time to choose an application I do my little data mining such as
- I start alternativeto.net to see the score of the apps
- than look for the same apps on https://www.libhunt.com
- than if I'm not convince I'll search through similar project such as yunohost, linuxserver, freedombox, caprover, ...
I really like how yunohost and linuxserver present their data
it give you an overview of what is well maintained and the quality of it.
My point is, more focusing on viable projects and less on what the user

The Cloudron Devs only include apps that are actively maintained anyway.
And yes, I really like how some of those sites make it easy to compare projects too.
-
@jimcavoli Someone would need to build a test app using cloudron standards for Docker and Ubuntu.
Funding might help as well to get a dev to even take a look.
-
@murgero Lets say I have the funding, but no coding experience. How might I connect with the developer?

Hey guys,
We're currently packaging Akaunting for Cloudron so stay tuned

Thanks for helping us out @denisdulici ! The work is happening here - https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/akaunting-app/

@nebulon I tried a bunch of Accounting software and Akaunting was in my top 5 but Invoice Ninja and Kimai2 are better and already in Cloudron. You will use Akaunting or it's just to add another apps ?
I look forward to seeing that app!

It does seem to me (just looking at the website) that Akunting does more that Invoice ninja and Kimai in terms of managing your overall finance whereas the others are more specifically about managing invoices / time-keeping / Projects, is that right?

Naked Akunting don't really do more than Invoice Ninja, probably less
Almost every addons https://akaunting.com/apps have a price. -
Akaunting looks worthwhile as an alternative to Xero (with a migration tool) or Quickfile.
Can't see automated Bank & Card statement importing though unless anyone knows otherwise?
Xero as a bridge could but that's purchasing the plugin and maintaining a Xero subscription.
Odoo Accounting or ERPNext the best FOSS I know of for interest, so I'd still have those higher up the Wishlist TBH.

Sadly these kinds of automation are mainly oriented US base Bank, and this even with paid and close source software such as Zoho Invoice.

@JOduMonT IMHO the US banks are far behind the EU & UK for Open Banking (and the fun n games with chip n pin).
Although I do like having a stash go $2 notes when I'm over
Some links for fun reading:
https://www.openbanking.org.uk
https://plaid.com
https://www.yodlee.com/financial-products/api-apps-dataTBH I wouldn't reinvent wheels and just use https://xero.com for it's integrations and https://integromat.com APIness.
I loath robotic chores, so always try to workflow anything like that even if it's via files to a dropbox or email.
While we're here, big fan of https://transferwise.com for international banking, worth a look for anyone interested in something with an API and decent service.

That’s because the EU is by now quite effective and much more effective than most people give it credit for: Online Banking - inter alia - is subject to the (revised) Payment Directive (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Payment_Services_Directive).

Free Agent also automatically imports most stuff using Open Banking (although I've still had to use a tiresome process of converting PDF statements to CSV in order to get older data that Open Banking doesn't suck in)
