Self-important - sure, the author says as much themselves.

But how is it misguided? OP is having fun on their personal site. Where would you guide them instead?

Okay let's charitably assume this PR for an Audit feature is completely unrelated to the Enterprise Audit feature introduced several months later.

The reviewers of the OSS code are still heavily incentivized to block this PR. Worse, if they knew a similar feature was being built for enterprise and this would never be merged into the free version, they be wasting months of contributors' time and effort.

You're missing the point, if this was just an unmerged PR no one would care.

But it's likely the paid Enterprise edition has merged this already, and now the same entity has an incentive to block this from the OSS version.

Hypothetically, if they never finish reviewing the PR, isn't that the same as "blocking"? Ghosting is still considered a rejection and arguably a much worse one.

StreetComplete is outstanding app, and an iOS port will bring more contributors to places like the US. So happy to see this.

You took the libre bait, rookie mistake.

Makes sense - great work so far! This is easily the best looking PTA app I've seen.

> Do people who use this kind of software manually enter every transaction they do every day, or something?

Yes, exactly that. You can do automatic imports of your bank statements but that's arguably more hassle.

It takes 10 minutes at the end of my day to record all my transactions and it gives me a complete understanding of where my money is going.

Awesome! I've been using Beancount/Fava for over 2 years now and this looks really slick.

One thing off the bat I noticed, it doesn't look like custom Tags are supported? I use tags all the time in beancount, say to filter for a trip #trip-europe-2022 which would break down my cash flow and balances (and the rest of the fava UI) for a subset of transactions.

Fully agree. When I was younger I used to care more about privacy, and would use nothing but FOSS apps and OSes no matter how much it inconvenienced me.

There's a significant opportunity cost for zealotry.

Eh, from the rest of the thread I don't think these 133t HN readers are the target audience anyway.

Not because of how violent and graphic, but because there's a chance the death is immediate. Cancer is always a long, long time away.

It's like saying if you put $100 in your 401k every month, there's a chance (equal to the number of new retirees) you instantly get $2M dollars.

Many more people would understand the immediate gain instead of the 30 year slog.

I suspect it's more about value of returned items than the quantity. I have returned ~half of the items I purchased in the last year

Yeah, I prefer talking about the many illegal drugs you can fit into a stamped envelope.
