I'm loving using ledger to keep track of my day-to-day expenses. I thought I'd create an issue to list some features I'd like to see.

Command line

• a common report I run from command line is

$ ledger balance -f ledger.ledger  --period Monthly Expenses Income --begin-date $first_date --end-date $last_date 

It'd be great if there were an additional column that showed the change from previous period for each total as a percentage. For example:

# Month 1
Expenses:Fuel                          410.51

# Month 2
Expenses:Fuel                          310.00   (-24.5%)

# Month 3
Expenses:Fuel                          350.00   (+12.9%)

Web

• ability to limit any view to a period of time with start/end dates. It should have a configurable default (e.g. last 90 days) and ideally allow selection of date range via a datepicker.

• ability to toggle display order of transactions oldest/most recent, with a configurable default (I typically want to see most recent at the top)

• include a 'balance' view similar to CLI balance output, grouped by month/week with the ability to expand/collapse each child account by clicking on the parent account name. For Example:

# Collapsed View
Expenses:Fuel                          410.51

# Expanded View
Expenses:Fuel                          410.51
Expenses:Fuel:Car1                     200.51
Expenses:Fuel:Car2                     210.00

• further to the last point, when the user clicks on any account name a transaction listing will be displayed filtered by the time period and account

I must stress that this a wish list and I have zero expectations on anyone but myself to implement these features
