This looks nice and simple.
I got frustrated with the invoicing landscape being too complex and pricy and have been using a Google Sheet for the last ~10 years. It has an export to PDF button and then I email the PDF to the client. It’s easy enough for any grid-style design which is all you need with an invoice.
What advantages does Invoice Dragon have over a Google Sheet?
- kykeonaut 3y agoI actually created an over-engineered LaTex template for my invoices, and it was such a pain in the arse. I can't believe I never thought of using Google Sheets or Excel.
- bombcar 3y agoExcel default invoice templates are great, and you can begin programmatically improving them from there. Excel can even have a separate sheet of “standard line items” you can reference, do the math for you, etc.
- apelapan 3y agoDid you do it entirely in LaTeX or some hybrid? I use Python scripts to generate LaTeX invoices/offers/payslips from yaml files. It works very smoothly. Of course it is more effort than using the built-in templates from the bookkeeping software, but it looks much nicer and I only do a few per month so it is not many minutes wasted. The effort spent building up these scripts to their current level is perhaps impossible to motivate with any rational arguments... But I had fun doing it!
- progx 3y agoAdvantage: None.
- ifedapo 3y agoProbably the fact that you don't have to do it with Google Sheet if it's not your Jam.
