Well, there are two categories of “other software”: Outside stuff that works with GnuCash data in some way and stuff that GnuCash uses. I trust that Liz isn’t planning to shut down Bruce Schuck’s announcements and support of Finance-Quote, nor Benoit Gregoire’s occasional (OK, pretty rare) posts about libOFX or Martin Preuss’s also rare posts about AqBanking.
The outside stuff category has generally been reasonably positive. Ngwei Fett wrote the original GnuCash-for-Android program as a Google Summer of Code project. Sebastien de Menten used to be active here supporting his Piecash python ibrary for working with GnuCash SQLite files, and others still suggest it from time to time. There was a fellow who maintained a set of added reports that some people found useful, distributing updates as attachments to posts. Regards, John Ralls > On Jun 14, 2026, at 10:10, Stephen M.
