accountomatic - simple home accounting system

At the house here we've been using a PHP version of my never-released accounting tool for a couple of years now. I recently took some spare time to learn the Rails framework (a very elegant Ruby-language framework) and, since my data model and concern separation for the accounting system were very similar was able to quickly convert the system over to Rails and even add a couple of features along the way.

You'll need to set up Rails (visit the Rails site linked above) to get this running. I'm also using Postgres for a database backend. The 'setup.sql' file contains a database definition to get you started. Yes, you could convert the SQL and run this on MySQL. My question would be "Why?" There's probably no accounting for taste, however.

See the live demo site -- login with username 'demo' and password 'demo'. Data will be periodically reloaded and reset.

This code is made available under my version of the BSD license. Big thanks to Shawn Garbett who has introduced professionalism to this hackish bit of code(!).
