One of the nice things about being able to write software is when a software company (or series of them) frustrate me enough, I can just write my own.

The drawback is actually doing it.

I’m glad I’m not a data hoarder. Trapped into using software because, “They have all my data!”

I guess we’re back in software mode…unless…

You know of a completely standalone bookkeeping application that doesn’t suck (no account connection needed).

@itsjoshbruce I don't know what "sucks" means to you in this context, but I've dived headlong into this world:

My accountants did not fire me yet, which I interpret as a good sign. And I am free of QuickBooks for the first time since 2001.

@jbrains: Sorry it’s taken a minute…that was a great rabbit hole I just fell down!

I appreciate the ethos behind the solution. Very inspiring.

You might talk to @jbrains about the bookkeeping application he's been writing.
