ehhh. Looks great. But being the nitwit as I am in this field, is it also accessible for folks like me? Or is it only for insiders?

Gregory Goijaerts I just installed 0.9.3. When I am at a new IP address I have to create a new API key. For some reason the bunq app doesn't want to scan the QR code. I don't why, I made an iDeal payment yesterday and then it worked (and I haven't got a new bunq app since).
I can scan the QR code with another barcode app. I do get redirected to the bunq app to approve the API connection, I can do the handscan and bunqDesktop will start. However, bunqDesktop doesn't save the API key!
When the session times out I get errors about an invalid session. I have to start again with the scanning of the QR code and so on because I can't select the correct API key.
Thanks again for creating bunqDesktop!
Jeroen π³οΈβπ It looks like there is a bug with storing the keys correctly in certain scenarios, I'll look into this later today and release a fix if I find anything
Absolutely a great app! Thanks for making this, it really offers good money management on a computer. Sometimes itβs more handy to just use a large screen instead of a phone :)
Btw, when can we expect the 1.0 version?
Jeroen π³οΈβπ Try 0.9.4 when you can :)
Valentijn It's a side project when I'm not busy with my internship and personal stuff so I can't really give you a clear answer on when the 1.0 version is done.

Let me translate in bunq terms for you: "Hey Valentijn, thanks for the feedback. I'll put this on my wishlist! Here at bunqDesktop I like to surprise my users with new features. So with that being said, I won't tell you when but stay tuned to be surprised when I do!"
Gregory Goijaerts Again, Gregory, phantastic job done as a private and uncommercial community service. Thanks a lot.
Definately the best project besides bunq itself. Due to itβs content in some aspects even better.
If you decide to bunq.me some donations, Iβll open my pocket! (As I was offering before... ππ)
Gregory Goijaerts It works! Hurray!
Great app ! Bunq should make a website or apllicitaion like this.
Any news on the ability for my staff to create draft payments with your app (without being able to actually send the transaction if they would like)?
Nevil You can send regular, draft-only and show-only Connect requests using the API/bunqDesktop and also create new draft payments.
In the official bunq app you can no longer create new draft payments but you CAN still accept or decline draft payments. So your staff should be able to accept your Draft-only Connect and then create draft payments using bunqDesktop or any other API application.
After that you can then accept or decline them in the bunq app.
Wow, that is such great news! I have been waiting for this for quite some time now, really awesome it's suddenly here. You even have a feature where my staff cannot see the balance on the account, which is even better. You should advertise this more :)
One more thing that isn't as optimal as it could be is the contacts list. Ideally I would like to create a shared address book for all my staff members to see, preferably not by using Google/Microsoft/Apple. Is this possible somehow?
Nevil Any suggestions on how you'd like to setup a shared address book?
Since bunqDesktop doesn't have a server associated with it I can't simply store those details on a server connected to your account for example. That is why I implemented the OAuth providers like Google and Microsoft so you can get started pretty quickly without giving me access to that data directly.
Pl
Nevil I assume you didn't intend to send just 'Pl'? :P
Whoops, my bad!
The problem with Google Contacts for instance is that it lists all my 10000+ customers (who are consumers, not businesses) who have ever emailed us. It gets kinda messy. Also every staff member here has their own @company email address, thus a different addressbook right? (We use Gsuite internally)
Also I don't see how a IBAN is connected to a Google contact. I'm not quite sure what the solution is when you don't want to you external servers (understandable), but I think manually entering an IBAN every time we do a transfer will not be appreciated by our staff. I'm willing to help you testing if you know any solution!
Canβt you create a generic google account for the purpose? bunqcontacts@yourcompany.com and have all employees use that to access the newly created addressbook?
Alex Well one thing to keep in mind is that bunq doesn't allow for sending payments to a non-bunq user by phone/email using the API. So I don't think that is a great solution for a lot of business use cases.
Currently when you start a new payment it will check the last 250 payments and then lets you search through those with autocomplete. I could increase that size a bit or allow users to upload a csv file with name and IBAN as the only columns to search through.
Gregory Goijaerts That is possible, we could store our contacts in Google Sheets for instance, and when Bunq contacts needs to be updated we do a CSV export from Google Sheets. Acceptable solution for now! Thanks for considering
