🔧 Fix this

Ideas a builder, maker or community group could start on:

  1. Develop a GnuCash plugin that adds a 'Transaction Count' metric to existing report templates.
  2. Create a standalone Python utility that parses GnuCash XML files to output transaction counts by date range.
  3. Build a web-based dashboard that imports GnuCash data to visualize transaction frequency and volume over time.
