It provide users with normal features that most finance systems tend to lack such as api endpoints for your scripts and a database backend with a clear schema so you can analyse your financial data using your software of choice.

#### How it works:
6-
You are a business or individual wanting a system to track your financials. You dont want to pay a cloud provider and you want to keep your financial data under your own control. You spin up a linux server (or raspberry pi) choose a database (Currently SQLite3 and MySQL are available) and you set up GoDBLedger as a systemd service that continuously runs. You now have a place to send your double entry bookkeeping transactions which get saved into your own database! GoDBLedger gives you an api where you can communicate your double entry transactions from within scripts, apps and other frontends! There are also some command line binaries included to get you started.
