The easiest way to use Rubadan is in the browser. There is no server-side data storage, all entered information is either ephemeral or stored in the browser session.
For running it locally you will need to compile it yourself currently:
nix run github:erictapen/rubadan
You will need some non-crate dependencies installed like wayland/libx11.
cargo install rubadan
I wrote Rubadan for my Bachelor's thesis in UI Design at University of Applied Sciences Potsdam and found it to have reached a state that was useful enough for publishing.
Wether I continue development will largely depend on wether I'll start using it for my own finances, so don't expect much to change here until further notice.
