from 1772141:

My friend Mike gave me 10 € that I have to give him back.
I lent 50 € to my sister, I have to remember that.

How are we supposed to do such kind of transactions in HB?

Is it a payee? I don't think that's the purpose of that feature
Is it a category? But then I'd consider that a expense/income, which isn't true (unless me or them are not going to return that money).
Is it an account? It seems most sensible, but it's definitely not a bank, cash or credit card, and not exactly an active or passive (since I can lend money to them, or them to me in the future).

I think this use case should be documented, and possibly a new account category (Debts) should be added.
