Direct Actual Budget integration (without an import script)

The current import script, while functional, requires server access to run the script, and isn’t easily accessible on Pikapods. It also feels a bit technical.

I’m working closely with the actual team on a direct integration. While they aren’t accepting new open banking providers as part of Actual Budget’s core, they are working on a plugin system to enable this integration. In the meantime, I built the import script for those comfortable with this setup.

Once the plugin system is ready, we’ll introduce Lunch Flow as a plugin, with the expectation that it works very similarly to the current SimpleFin integration. (Reach out if you’d like to contribute to that 😀)
