Move monzo_ynab into //tools
Optimizing is difficult: I like flat hierarchies because I don't like directory-hopping, but I also would like a cleaner root for my mono-repo. Bombs away! Well it's that time again, folks: spring cleaning! Here I am musing about a few things that bother me: - Should I use kebab-case or snake_case? - It feels ~confusing to have //tools and //utils. What a //projects? Isn't everything a project? *sigh*

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.

To install and use, you have two options: + +You can install using `nix-build` and then run the resulting +`./result/bin/monzo_ynab`. + +```shell +> nix-build . && ./result/bin/monzo_ynab +``` + +Or you can install using `nix-env` if you'd like to create the `monzo_ynab` +symlink. + +```shell +> 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][deploy] writeup. + +[deploy]: ../deploy/README.md |
