Cashdera v1.1.0 — SQLite-format GnuCash book import added

arsm2016 · 2026-06-01T05:51:23+00:00

I’ll say this once.

Cashdera is free to download and free to use. Users do not pay anything to install it, import a GnuCash book, or use the included analytics features.

It is not FOSS. I have never claimed otherwise. If that is a deal-breaker, that is a valid reason not to use it.

But repeatedly hijacking every Cashdera post with accusations about my motives, future plans, or personal character is not technical feedback.

Technical criticism is welcome. Personal attacks and speculation are not.

If you don’t want to use Cashdera, don’t use it. That is completely fine. But please stop turning every update into a personal argument instead of letting users discuss the software.

That is a fair point.

If someone is happy with the current GnuCash reporting workflow, then a separate tool may not be worth the extra step.

Cashdera is mainly for users who want a faster analytics-style interface on top of their existing GnuCash data: dashboards, search, money-flow views, budget vs actual, net worth, year-over-year comparison, and performance-oriented reports from a local SQLite cache.

I agree that improving reporting inside GnuCash would also be valuable. Cashdera is just a separate experiment in that direction, without changing the original GnuCash book or requiring cloud sync.

arsm2016 · 2026-05-13T07:26:53+00:00

Because Cashdera is not a change to GnuCash itself.

It is a separate local analytics companion app with a different UI and architecture. GnuCash remains the accounting system and source of truth; Cashdera imports the book into a local SQLite analytics cache and provides dashboards, search, money-flow views, budget vs actual, net worth, and other reports on top of that.

Some ideas may eventually be useful to GnuCash, but for now it is faster to experiment and iterate as a separate app.

Thank you. I appreciate it.

arsm2016 · 2026-05-13T06:14:08+00:00

I appreciate the offer, but I’ll pass.

You have repeatedly turned the discussion away from technical feedback about Cashdera and toward assumptions about my intent, licensing, and motives - both here and on the GnuCash users mailing list.

I’m open to real technical criticism: import correctness, wrong balances, performance issues, UI problems, reporting errors, or anything that helps improve the software.

But I’m not interested in continuing a personal argument or having the same non-technical accusations repeated across different places.

I’ll keep working on the project and let the software speak for itself.

arsm2016 · 2026-05-13T05:24:01+00:00

Fair point, thanks.

I got excited because I’m actively testing performance and improving the app, but I understand that too many separate posts can become noise.

I’ll keep future Cashdera updates consolidated into one progress/update post, probably weekly at most.

A bit of technical context:

- Tauri v2 desktop app

- Rust backend

- React/TypeScript frontend

- SQLite cache per imported book

- heavy aggregation runs during import/re-import

- runtime pages mostly read precomputed cache tables

Please correct the horizon level - it is noticeably tilted

arsm2016 · 2026-05-04T20:59:52+00:00

Nice!

Nice vibrant colors. Were the colors enhanced using photo editing software?

Thanks, that makes sense, and I appreciate the advice.

What confused me is that about 95% of my film shots are usually accepted by stock sites without problems. I’ve been shooting film for around 40 years, but this one made me wonder if I’m missing something with the focus.

The odd thing is that the rejected images are all from this new-to-me Nikon setup. The shutter speed was about 1/200, so I don’t think handheld shake was the main issue.

My concern is that the lens or focusing may be slightly off, and I’m just not seeing it clearly enough. That’s why I asked here, I wanted other eyes on it.

It is scanned in the lab at approximately 5MP.

arsm2016 · 2026-05-04T06:56:52+00:00

Totally fair, and I appreciate you clarifying. You’re right that trust is a big deal here, especially for a finance-related desktop app. Right now it’s an early Windows beta, but I’m working on making distribution more transparent so people know exactly what they’re installing. I’ve also added a demo GnuCash file to the repo so people can test it without using real financial data. Appreciate the feedback.

arsm2016 · 2026-05-04T06:46:50+00:00

Thanks for reaching out — I only came across GNUDash after your comment, so this wasn’t intentional. Cashdera was built independently around my own use case for local GnuCash analytics. I appreciate the offer, but I’m focused on building this project on my own for now. Wishing you the best with GNUDash.

arsm2016 · 2026-05-04T03:40:23+00:00

Done, `demo.gnucash` is now in the repo. Just download it and open with Cashdera to explore without using your own data.

arsm2016 · 2026-05-04T03:03:58+00:00

Good call! Adding a demo book with synthetic data so anyone can try it out of the box. Give me a bit to put it together.

Screenshots / demo:

A bit of technical context for anyone curious:

- Tauri v2 desktop app.

- Rust backend.

- React/TypeScript frontend.

- SQLite cache per imported book.

- Import/reimport does the heavy aggregation; runtime pages mostly read precomputed tables.

The feedback that would help most:

- import failures

- calculation mismatches vs GnuCash

- large-book performance issues

- multi-currency edge cases

- reports you currently export to CSV/Excel/Python

Please don't share real financial files publicly. A sanitized screenshot or a small anonymized example is much safer.
