Web interface for beancount.

Built on Flask it relies on an artificial API (api.py) that calls into beancount and returns Python-dicts for consumption by the web application.

Many views are very buggy as this is just a quickly-hacked-together-version of what a new web interface for beancount might look like. Especially the filters (Year, Tag) are very buggy.

This is mainly a proof-of-concept and playground for figuring out what a new web interface for beancount should look (and feel) like, and not if the (numerical) results themselves are correct or not.

1. Install beancount-web: python setup.py install.
2. Start beancount-web: beancount-web /Volumes/Ledger/example.ledger (substitute with the path to your own beancount-file) to run the included web server.
3. Point your browser at http://localhost:5000 to view the web interface.
