Small Business Accounting Features

Technical Design

bookyt is written primarily in Ruby, with a growing fraction in JavaScript. It is implemented as Web based, and thus platform independent application. It is also able to be run in a hosted version in the cloud. One notable feature is the pure fixed-point arithmetic to avoid rounding errors which would arise with floating-point arithmetic.

Project Status

Ohloh did an analysis of the source code repository and compared the commit activity for the past two years and concluded that the project has a mature, well established code base with increasing year-over-year development activity.[1]
