Definitely! That is my main point. People going through these steps are in the best position to write the docs that would make it easier to learn for beginners. Once I figure things out, I will no longer need these documents, except for reference. I understand that.
Thanks for that link. I have your repo in my little knowledge base. But, after looking at it, I was under the impression that it only downloads the report. Pretty much what the ibflex package does. Does your importer also generates the transactions? Please say yes, this is the only thing remaining for me and I'll be travelling next week and won't have much time to play around with this. Cashier now supports Beancount export. I need to finalize the bean queries to get the data from the book and then everything will be migrated. One thing I'm not completely sure is how to get a list of all the lots for a commodity. The list should be in a form that can be exported to JSON.
