Description

maximize your potential with Daniel-San, a node-based budget-projection engine that helps your routines and finances find balance. The program features text, json, terminal and file-based reporting output, aggregates, multi-currency conversion capability and multi-frequency accounting triggers, including: once, daily, weekly, bi-weekly, tri-weekly, monthly, annually and more. Timezones help to keep your enterprise in sync, while special adjustments allow the movement of process-dates around holidays and weekends via prepay or postpay. Dynamic rule modification allows the injection of growth-and-decay functions. Additionally, the user can create reminder/routine rules for events that won't contribute to the balanceEnding calculation. Extend rule/event properties by adding custom fields. Breathe in through nose, out the mouth. Wax on, wax off. Don't forget to breathe, very important.

Defining Rules

Please note that the format of property values are strict. For example, Years are always strings in the format YYYY, months are always MM, and days are always DD. Weekdays are an integer between 0-6, and times are always strings in the format [hh:mm]am or [hh:mm]pm (case sensitive on the am and pm).
