What’s always been painful about invoicing for me isn’t generating the PDF. It’s everything around it. Keeping a clean record, knowing what’s been sent, what’s been paid, what’s overdue, and remembering to follow up or handle renewals. A one off invoice creator is fine, but the real value is in the repetitive workflow and the boring bookkeeping that never goes away.
thank you for the feedback, it totally makes sense to want those fetures. and yes, I've also seen that there are a lot of sites like that.
its tempting to implement but also comes with more complexities, which Im at this stage not that exited to hop on. I'm thinking of:
- need for a backend with login/authentication -> kills the endless scalability aspect of only having a frontend.
- there are soo many competing tools already existing. Im not sure what my moat would be.
- For me, as a freelancer with max 1 assigments per month so far, a standalone pdf-maker like this one is preferred over being locked in to a Saas product.
- in that case I would want support for e-invoices which seems a bit bureaucratic to get in place
I tried to create a simple invoice for Spain, and it was impossible. I need to be able to add a different tax which is actually negative (-15%) but can't be done.
Looks amazing, but its too rigid.
Thank you for testing it and the feedback! I have added support for a second VAT row now (withholding VAT) which is negative. Let me know if it covers your needs :)
