We're excited to announce the launch of Beancount.io's completely revamped website! After months of careful development and feedback from our amazing community, we've created a more intuitive, comprehensive, and resourceful hub for all your plain-text accounting needs.

A Fresh New Look​

Our rebranded homepage reflects our commitment to clarity and simplicity—the very principles that make plain-text accounting so powerful. With a clean, modern design that emphasizes usability, we've made it easier than ever to find exactly what you need. The new visual identity better represents our mission: making accounting accessible and transparent for everyone from hobbyists to financial professionals.

Expanded Documentation & Tutorials​

We've significantly expanded our documentation and tutorial sections to support users at every level:

• Getting Started Guide: A completely revamped onboarding experience for newcomers to plain-text accounting
• Interactive Tutorials: Step-by-step walkthroughs with real-world examples
• Advanced Topics: Detailed documentation on complex accounting scenarios, customizations, and integrations
• Command Reference: Comprehensive explanations of every command and option within Beancount
• Troubleshooting: Common issues and their solutions, contributed by our community experts

Each tutorial has been carefully crafted to take you from concept to implementation with practical examples you can apply to your own books immediately.

Resources for Better Accounting​

Beyond just explaining how to use Beancount, we've added resources to help you become better at accounting itself:

• Accounting Principles Library: Learn fundamental concepts like double-entry bookkeeping, accrual vs. cash accounting, and proper categorization
• Financial Reporting Templates: Ready-to-use templates for common reports like income statements, balance sheets, and cash flow statements
• Tax Preparation Guides: Country-specific resources to help with year-end tax preparation using Beancount data
• Industry-Specific Setups: Example configurations for freelancers, small businesses, and personal finance
• Community Showcase: Real-world examples (with sensitive data removed) showing how others organize their accounting systems

What's Next?​

This website refresh is just the beginning. We're committed to continually improving the Beancount experience based on your feedback. Coming soon:

• Additional integration tutorials for popular financial services
• Renovate beancount mobile apps
• More localized content for international users
• Expanded community forum for knowledge sharing
• Regular webinars on advanced accounting topics

We'd love to hear what you think about the new site! Share your feedback through our community channel.

Happy accounting!
