BEAN-WEB(1)

💖 NAME 💖

bean-web — a simple Web interface to a Beancount ledger, bestie ✨

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so. picture this: your Beancount ledger, but it's serving up a whole web interface. that's bean-web. she's giving:

usage: bean-web [-h] [--version] [--port PORT] [-q] [--debug]
[--incognito]

       [--no-source] [--no-colons] [--view VIEW] [--public]
       [--first-month FIRST_MONTH] filename

Web server for Beancount ledgers. no cap, that's the whole job. she runs on Bottle, the single-file micro web framework — and no plugins, she's built different, she doesn't need them 💅

✨ options: ✨

• -h, --help — shows this help message and dips. so helpful, so iconic 🫶
• --version, -V — shows the program's version number and then exits, periodt.

🦋 Web server arguments: 🦋

• filename — the Beancount input filename you want to serve. the main character of this whole operation tbh.
• --port PORT — which port to listen on.
• -q, --quiet — literally don't even print the web server log. silence. nothing. blessed.
• --debug — enables debugging features (auto-reloading of css). very girlboss of her to keep the css fresh 🔥
• --incognito — filters the output so all the numbers are hidden. this is great for demos using my real file 🙈 no one needs to see my actual finances, bestie.
• --no-source — don't render the source.
• --no-colons — don't render colons in filenames (this one's for Windows, iykyk).
• --view VIEW — render only the specified view (identified by URL). one thing at a time, we're being intentional ✨
• --public, --inaddr-any — binds the server to listen to any address, not just localhost. be careful bestie, this is the extrovert setting 🌈
• --first-month FIRST_MONTH — the first month of the calendar year. yes, you get to pick. customize your vibe 🎀
