payredu

பேரேடு
======

payredu is a cross-platform frontend to ledger(pta) with emphasis on
simplicity. payredu means ledger in Tamil. It is written in c99 and
works on top of nuklear making it lightweight and fast.

NOTE: The quality of the software is beta in the least, it's still
in development.

To build and run,

	$ make
	$ ./payredu -f ledger.dat

Why payredu when ledger-cli exists?
------------------------------------

ledger-cli by itself is pretty lightweight but it has a handful of
dependencies and features which I don't particularly care about.

payredu follows a very suckless approach to ledger and does NOT provide
some of the advanced features ledger provides.

It should be noted that payredu is usually faster than ledger-cli as it
does not provide some of the niceties that ledger-cil provides.

Goals
-----
- Compact as possible
- Useful regex queries (^ $ *)
- UNIX style arguments
- Native MSVC support (Windows, ReactOS)
- csv, emacs export/import

Non-Goals
---------
- Python support
- Elaborate regex
- XML support

Other Build Targets
-------------------
MSVC under Windows,

	C:/payredu> make CC=cl

Experimental GUI with hot reload (Linux only),

	$ make hot

This is may be removed in feature to provide only a CUI interface.
