great to see this open sourced - sorry to hear you closed neoinvoice though
the web based invoicing market is extremely crowded and very hard to complete against the likes of freshbooks.com
though i went the opposite route to you and its working $ for me
created the open source app http://simpleinvoices.org http://simpleinvoices.org first, got large user based, then offered premium hosting at http://smarterinvoices.com http://smarterinvoices.com
- einhverfr 14y agoI think at one point we had some LedgerSMB users using SimpleInvoices and importing data into LedgerSMB. I think the difficulty with invoicing is that it is so heavily tied to everything else one might try to do in a business, from tracking inventory to CRM to financial accounting. This doesn't mean that one can't do this, but the interconnections seem to be key.
- justinkelly 14y agore ledgdersmb - yep - the ledgersmb crew did some great work to the SimpleInvoices code to make it work for them re interconnections * depending on the target market * the people who need integration already do some form of accounting already - and a 'full stack' accounting solution like http://xero.com http://xero.com is more appropriate for this market * simpleinvoices market is people with no accounting system or desire for debit/credit stuff so we have make no attempts to make quickbooks, etc. integration work
