I've been bootstrapping[1] a PostgreSQL 'math engine' extension that
would have a Hypermedia API on top to provide general purpose accounting
not dissimilar to Ledger CLI.  This would include both double entry and
simple counting ledgers.

If anyone is interested in taking this idea seriously and getting
started please reach out and we'll build some momentum together.
