===========
|
|
|
|
Firefly Mark III is a new version of Firefly built upon best practices and lessons learned
|
|
from building Firefly. It's Mark III since the original Firefly never made it outside of my
|
|
laptop and Firefly II is live.
|
|
|
|
## Changes
|
|
|
|
Firefly III will feature:
|
|
|
|
- Double-entry bookkeeping system;
|
|
- Better budgeting tools;
|
|
- Better financial reporting;
|
|
- More control over other resources outside of personal finance
|
|
- Accounts shared with a partner (household accounts)
|
|
- Debts
|
|
- Credit cards
|
|
- More robust code base (mainly for my own peace of mind);
|
|
- More test-coverage (aka: actual test coverage);
|
|
|
|
## More features
|
|
|
|
- Firefly will be able to split transactions; a single purchase can be split in multiple entries, for more fine-grained control.
|
|
- Firefly will be able to join transactions.
|
|
- Transfers and transactions will be combined into one internal datatype which is more consistent with what you're actually doing: moving money from A to B. The fact that A or B or both are yours should not matter. And it will not, in the future.
|
|
- The nesting of budgets, categories and beneficiaries will be removed.
|
|
- Firefly will be able to automatically login a specified account. Although this is pretty unsafe, it removes the need for you to login to your own tool.
|
|
|
|
## Not changed
|
|
|
|
- Firefly will not encrypt the content of the (MySQL) tables. Old versions of Firefly had this capability but it sucks when searching, sorting and organizing entries.
|
|
|
|
## Current state
|
|
I barely have the basics up and running and I'm already running behind on test coverage. I _do_ have some good ideas about user configuration and preferences which was a huge pain in the butt with the previous Firefly.
