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

1. I start alternativeto.net to see the score of the apps
2. than look for the same apps on https://www.libhunt.com
3. 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

• yunohost
• linuxserver

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.

@murgero Lets say I have the funding, but no coding experience. How might I connect with the developer?

[murgero]

@will you can contact cloudron support (or discuss here) for the cloudron app.if you wan the akaunting devs to do work on the cloudron app, you can probably find contact details on their github or website.

Hey guys,

We're currently packaging Akaunting for Cloudron so stay tuned

@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 ?

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.

hi, please can you do a tutorial to create a page in akounting and fill it

[marcusquinn]

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.

Whoops, I dropped the ball on this. @denisdulici already made a package a couple of months ago and I completely forgot to follow it up with him. I made a TODO for myself for this week.

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

[marcusquinn]

@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-data

TBH 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)

@jdaviescoates Tabular helps me with that if you're not already aware of it: https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/2814/tabula-extracts-table-data-from-pdfs-wen-copy-paste-often-doesn-t?_=1594815634825

Dead link; status seems unknown. Have you got an update on the old effort and/or would a new pass be more useful?

[girish]

@jimcavoli For some reason that repo was private, I have made it public now.

[avatar1024]

Is there anyone still working on this? Or is there any update of some kind? Would be great to have it on the app store

[timconsidine]

@marcusquinn big for Wise (formerly TransferWise)
More cost-effective than the big 4 for international transfers (and seems faster in my experience)
Nice API for batch payments, e.g. upload payroll for staff
Nice users can get a little bonus with a referral code from current users (e.g. @marcusquinn or myself)

Ref Akaunting, I haven't been able to check if it is adequate for UK users, e.g. HMRC drive towards 'Making Tax Digital', most notably submission of VAT returns. If Akaunting does support this, then it's interesting, otherwise (for me anyway) it doesn't work well.
