William Carroll 6b224a9e31 Drop support for lorri
Lorri does not cleanly integrate with my corporate device, which cannot run
NixOS. To expose dependencies to Emacs buffers, I will use nix-buffer.el, which
reads its values from dir-locals.nix. To easily expose dependencies from my
existing shell.nix files into dir-locals.nix, I wrote a Nix utility function.

monzo_ynab

Exporting Monzo transactions to my YouNeedABudget.com (i.e. YNAB) account. YNAB unfortunately doesn't currently offer an Monzo integration. As a workaround and a practical excuse to learn Go, I decided to write one myself.

This job is going to run N times per 24 hours. Monzo offers webhooks for reacting to certain types of events. I don't expect I'll need realtime data for my YNAB integration. That may change, however, so it's worth noting.

Installation

Like many other packages in this repository, monzo_ynab is packaged using Nix. To install and use, you have two options:

You can install using nix-build and then run the resulting ./result/bin/monzo_ynab.

> nix-build . && ./result/bin/monzo_ynab

Or you can install using nix-env if you'd like to create the monzo_ynab symlink.

> nix-env -f ~/briefcase/monzo_ynab -i

Deployment

While this project is currently not deployed, my plan is to host it on Google Cloud and run it as a Cloud Run application. What I don't yet know is whether or not this is feasible or a good idea. One complication that I foresee is that the OAuth 2.0 login flow requires a web browser until the access token and refresh tokens are acquired. I'm unsure how to workaround this at the moment.

For more information about the general packaging and deployment strategies I'm currently using, refer to the deployments writeup.
