We decided to build the Abacus app and marketing site in parallel, with Aaron focusing on the app and John on the marketing site.
So far, we have built out the following sections (with copy still a work-in-progress):
staging
app now hosted at https://www.staging.accounting.clams.tech/ledger cli
works to ensure that we architect the app in a way that allows us to expand out from MVP into the whole range of accountancy features https://ledger-cli.org/Clams Accounting
will be the name of this app. So we have Clams Remote
& Clams Accounting
. Both apps can live under the brand Clams, just like how Stripe have multiple finance tools under their one brand - https://stripe.comhttps://github.com/PlebLab/Top-Builder/assets/30157175/adb2445d-4195-4f1a-a3df-ef77373e5dcf

component detailing features available in the free version of the app. Also prepared a similar tile for the Pro
version with additional features, which will display a "Coming Soon" message for the MVP. The plan is to launch a freemium MVP as a standalone product initially, with paid features released once fully developed and rigorously tested.How it works

section, incorporating diagrams or illustrations to clearly convey the value proposition.Completed the restructuring of all data structures to support double entry bookkeeping across various transaction types. Validation was performed by comparing the total balance on a CLN node, with the balance in the Accounting app. As demonstrated by the screenshots, the app balance precisely mirrors the node's balance, but was derived solely from the list of debits and credits. This milestone serves as validation for the robustness of our accounting logic.

Implemented a graphical representation for the sats flow dashboard, illustrating balance trends over time:
Created a Lean Canvas for the app:

Sketched a mockup inspired by Shape Up for the How it works
section on the site. The aim is to accentuate the value proposition by illustrating user flow and features within a problem-solving framework. We believe that employing the four headings of Sync
, Enhance
, Visualize
, and Reports
across both the marketing site and the app will provide a consistent and coherent way to explain the core functionality of the app.

🧑🤝🧑 The Team
Remote
- an interface for Core Lightning nodes that establishes a secure and encrypted connection directly through the Lightning Network. In support of the app they contributed open-source tools that have been utilized by other projects such as Zeus and Alby:rune-decoder
(decodes auth tokens required for commando node connections),ln-ws-proxy
(make web socket connection with a node over HTTP) andln-message
(allows web apps to ‘speak lightning’ and communicate with nodes via an encrypted connection). Clams is the first team to release a full UI for BOLT12 offers, offering a proof of concept for others. The Remote app has been widely employed during educational workshops facilitated by Niftynei and D++ throughout 2023, including Lightning Larp events at various conferences.💡 The Idea
