I wondered about the reasons of your fork and then found that you 
mention two reasons in your blog: long release cycles and keeping vital 
code in alkimia library¹. A long term goal of yours would be to port it 
to Android in the future. 

What I wonder now: Did you talk with KMyMoney developers, especially 
Thomas, about your plans?

Why I am asking this? I wonder whether what you like to do really 
requires a fork. There are already only a few developers working on 
KMyMoney and there is already Skrooge as another application in that 
area.

I really wonder about the benefit of a KMyMoney fork. As a user of 
KMyMoney at this point in time I have no motivation of switching away 
from KMyMoney. From what I read about Android security, currently there 
is no chance at all that I am going to run such a sensitive application 
on it. The less stuff is running on it, the better. Even with AOSP 
without Google apps but F-Droid instead aka Fairphone OpenOS.

It is of course your choice what you do with your time, so good luck and 
good success in what you like to accomplish.
