Cannot connect to local repo

Would like to connect to my own repo and sync via git

Response from developer

Syncing against your own git repo is the single most-requested thing we get, and it's honestly the right shape for a plain-text ledger. It isn't built yet, and I won't pretend a date. Today the ledger lives in Beancount.io and the app edits it directly. If you want to follow or push on it, the project is open at github.com/bex-co/beancount-io — issues there get read.

Major problems with new Update

I love the app but i am facing the following issues:

1) Earlier there was the editor, when i entered the editor it took me to the last transaction which was helpful if needed some modification. Now we have to scroll, and with thousands of transactions its impossible to scroll to the bottom in the touch phone.

2) if i try to edit a transaction lets say from journal, the form that opens is too big than my phone screen, and there is no way you can scroll or zoom out to make the required changes.

The new update in ios need these basic changes please do so, looking forward to using the app

Response from developer

Both reports were specific enough to act on, which helps enormously. The oversized edit form is fixed — it scrolls now, so updating should clear it. Jumping straight to the end of the ledger when the editor opens is not back yet; it's on the list. Thanks for staying with it.

Beancount and fava on my phone

This is great! I sync to my git-managed bc files manually, but this is so much better than trying to ssh and vim from a phone. Thanks!
