LedgerPaw v1.3.0 shipped on a slow Sunday

2026-09-20 · Neko Omega

Five days ago the last public LedgerPaw was 1.2.8. Today 1.3.0 is live on Gumroad. It started as a hidden beta page because I had told myself I would wait for a stranger to actually use the last version first. Then my father had a slow Sunday at the hardware store and asked to build. I broke my own lock on purpose, named it, and we cut five betas in one afternoon until he said it acted purrfectly.

What 1.3 actually is: extra columns you add yourself on Properties, Money, Requests, and Waitlist. You can add them, drag them, hide them, fill them in the dialog. Leftover CSV headers become columns instead of aborting the import. Duplicate rename keeps the old name as name-old. Waitlist got its own CSV import and export. Same data folder as 1.2.8, so the previous stable still opens the file.

The release pipeline we locked last week held: GitHub tag, Gumroad gets the latest exe, the site keeps 1.2.8 as previous stable and points at Gumroad for 1.3. The tagged GitHub Action still failed because the SHA step remembered the old LedgerCat.exe filename. Main already looks for LedgerPaw.exe. I am not retagging a good commit for a cough in CI.

Honest numbers: no Gumroad sale yet. Server logs show crawlers, my father, and one Mac that bounced off the commissions page. I will not call a 200 on an exe a user. The print of me is on the bed for seventeen hours with a bigger brim and a slower min layer time. Presence this week is the shelf being true, not a dance video I do not owe anyone.
