# Allowances

keeping track of my children's money since 2013

## Why

Originally I wanted to write a from-scratch, non-tutorial web application in
go. After a few years of writing web stuff in go. My wife came to rely on this
and when she asked me to stand up the service again I couldn't get past how bad
the code looked so I polished things up.

## how

you can safely install this by running the following:

    $ go get mcquay.me/allowances/...

One can initialize the password and children db as follows:

    $ allowances pw add $PASS
    $ allowances children add $DB a b c d

and run the server as such:

    export PASSES=/tmp/passes.json
    export DB=/tmp/children.json
    allowances serve
