Alpha version I would say. So these are things that may irritate you: - Too hard to start for a non-developer (getting all those IDs is still manual) - poor error handling (there are a lot of cases when you *will* encounter hard-to-understand errors because of a random bug, unexpected API response, etc..) - + +* Before you start Currently in order to use the tool you need at least Python version 3.11. You also need to obtain credentials: - Secret ID and Secret Key from your GoCardless account (you can create one free of charge) - YNAB access token (you can grab it from https://app.ynab.com/settings/developer) -* Quickstart +* How-to Clone this repository: #+begin_src sh
