Good to know.

To my knowledge, there is little material about Alkimia. Here are some links:

https://techbase.kde.org/Projects/KdeFinance/Alkimia
https://community.kde.org/Alkimia

Other applications: Don't know of any (yet). Anyway, libalkimia was the 
outcome of a KDE finance sprint held many moons ago with KMyMoney, Skrooge and 
Kraft developers present.
