No, it should be online. Just tried and it loads ok for me... Are you getting an error or anything?

#15Install Instructions: "purcahsing". "Alternatively, you can the documentation online". Also, the install step says "Install SiteCloner". Dashboard z-indexes are all messed up (tooltips behind main divs). Currency symbols are completely messed up, € is displaying as '€'. Also why do I have to edit a php file to change the currency when there's an "Application Settings" page? This doesn't seem very professional.
Apologies for the typos; we'll take care of these shortly. Regarding issues on the dashboard; we're not aware of any issues. Would you mind sending an email to support@chillyorange.com so we can figure out what the issue is and hopefully take care of them asap? The only currency set through the config file is the default one; we placed this in the config file as, typically, you would set this once. Defaults per invoi…
While we're at it :)
In the "Self hosted Huh?" section:
"subscript-based" -> subscription-based
"Subscript" is a typographical term.

#16creating an invoice, why is it I have to manually calculate the rate, if I give you the hourly rate and the number of hours? And why does the popup message say 'please make sure the last field contains a number'? Why can't it say "hey, you didn't enter a total"? The 'internal invoice number' on the settings page seems to max out at 2 digits. On the demo account, it's a 3 digit number, but you can't see the third digit because it's overlain by the huge up/down arrows.
Where are the discounts? Where are the terms on the invoice? Say I want to have a 2/10 net 30. That's a 2% discount if paid within 10 days, 30 days before overdue - I don't see any way to define my terms.
Has anyone there even studied accounting?

I'm curious, do you know of any existing invoicing software that handles discounts that way? I'm sure it exists, but I've never seen discounts that are tied to the date paid...

Two are quickbooks and freshbooks. You really should study accounting if you've never seen discounts tied to the date paid. Cash flow is important to every business, and a lot of businesses do give discounts for quick payment.

Being able to define your payment terms is important.

Agree completely. I just asking about the software end. I've used freshbooks a lot and I've never seen that option. Just checked again, and it doesn't appear to be there. There are discounts, but it's a discount that is applied immediately, at the time of invoicing, rather than being applied IF certain conditions are met.
I'll check out quickbooks.

It looks like this might be something they threw together in a weekend. Boilerplate MVP for the purpose of getting a job interview or something?
