A set of Emacs utilities for managing wine tasting events, tracking balances with participants, and publishing reviews. Built on top of vulpea and vino.

• Emacs 29.3+
• dash 2.19.1+
• s 1.13.0+
• vulpea 0.3.0+
• vino 0.4.0+
• vui 0.0.0+ (for event planning UI)
• widget-extra 1.0.0+
• hledger (for ledger functionality)

Core utilities used by other modules:

• Price formatting and parsing (brb-price-format, brb-price)
• QPR (Quality-Price Ratio) calculation (brb-qpr)
• String table formatting (brb-string-table)

Event management for wine tastings:

• brb-event-select - interactively select an event
• brb-event-create - create a new event
• brb-events-from-range - query events within a date range

Events are org-mode notes tagged with wine, event, and barberry/public.

Declarative UI for planning and managing wine tasting events. Built with vui.el - a React-like component library for Emacs.

Entry point:

• brb-event-plan - open interactive planning buffer for an event

Features:

The UI is organized into tabs:

• plan - budget management, wine selection, participant management, shared spending
• scores - live scoring during the event with statistics (WAVG, SDEV, QPR)
• order - personal food/drink orders per participant
• extra - extra wine sales (by-the-glass)
• invoices - invoice generation with balance tracking and ledger integration

Supports blind tastings (hide wine identity until reveal), pays-for relationships (one participant pays for another), and real-time score ranking.

Balance tracking using hledger. Manages participant balances, deposits, charges, and spending.

Configuration:

(setq brb-ledger-file "/path/to/ledger.journal")
;; Or separate files for reading/writing:
(setq brb-ledger-file '("/path/to/read.journal" "/path/to/write.journal"))

Key functions:

• brb-ledger-display - display ledger with balances and transactions
• brb-ledger-deposit - record a deposit from a participant
• brb-ledger-charge - charge an amount to a participant
• brb-ledger-spend - record spending from the shared balance
• brb-ledger-spend-personal - record personal spending
• brb-ledger-convive-display-balance - view a specific participant's history

Customization:

(setq brb-ledger-display-limit 50)  ; number of transactions to show (default: 36)

Custom widgets for brb UIs: money-label, balance-label, balance-reversed-label, note-label.

Utilities for posting wine reviews to social networks (e.g., Vivino).

• brb-sn-display - show pending reviews grouped by event
