+# 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`.
+
+```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 -iA users.wpcarro.monzo_ynab
+```
+
+## 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.
