I'll bookmark it for sure, though I am waiting for the French version of the invoices. I've had such an idea a while ago but never really went forward with it, you beat me at it ;) By the way, I love the name!

#13Very cool! Invoicing is a terrible (and least interesting) part of freelancing and consulting. This looks like a great MVP. I especially like that when I print it out, that there's no big "billmebob" logo at the top there. I think it would be fair to put a self-promotional link/tagline at the very bottom of the page though. Also, allowing me to email directly from the page would probably be nice. At the very least, j…

You also should point out what you use the data for. I know I'd be hesitant to type my customers' addresses into such a system.
The data will be used for nothing except displaying your invoice. Also, i made the urls look dirty with those random characters instead of letting people choose shorturls to keep invoice details private. There's no/will be no page anytime that would list the invoices. So they are all safe.
P.S: pdf and mailing option coming in the next few hours.

#19Re. privacy, it may be a good idea to disallow invoice URLs in robots.txt, using a common pattern or subdirectory.
