I just opened a new entity and was looking for an accounting package that was not Quickbooks. It turns out the hardest integration for accounting software isn't some file format or API - its accountants. In the US at least, Quickbooks is the defacto standard, and I've had a terrible time trying to find somebody that is willing to deviate from it.

That said I am open and eager to try something new. I really respect the Frappe and ERPNext team, and enjoyed this home page a lot so I downloaded it to my Linux box. I had some really odd UI glitches from the start, mostly just with electron window management (setup screen is not resizeable, then I accidentally resized the main window to 1 px wide). I found that the date picker was hilariously wrong - it would show 30 or 31 for all dates of the month except for the first row, then jump back to the prior month every time I selected a date. I could not remedy this with manually typing in a date entry. Screenshot: https://imgur.com/a/7XjT9i3

Other little issues: - no app icon on Ubuntu (gnome) desktop - I wish the account names were 'frozen' to the left side of the P&L and Balance Sheet reports. I have to scroll left and right to read the reports. - I kind of need a description line on my invoice line items, or I'm going to need to make a ton of items, which will kind of mess up reporting. - Some of the UI and language isn't really customized for US norms. Its not a big issue but sometimes feels awkward.

I hope this is helpful feedback. I'm going to talk with my accountant soon and see if they would be open to trying something new, but until then I'm stuck with Quickbooks. I just can't stand paying for a product that is chock full of ads for other products, and which walls off competitors by design.

I do love the stack, and would like to be able to just keep the sqlite.db in Dropbox and share with my other machine and accountant.

Best of luck. I could definitely see myself paying for this in the future, preferably one time or annually.
