A minor usability point. If you hover over an X on the left, your cursor should change to a hand. Site looks good.

Great, super easy to use. Liked it a lot. couple of suggestions:

1. White labeling - Let me get rid of the logo at the top and replace it with my own. Similar on the domain, maybe something like my_company.billmebob.com. Maybe these are things you could charge for.

2. Sign in - let me sign up after the first one and have it remember things like my company name, address, and maybe even companies I've billed before (I'm likely to do it again and don't want to repeat entering that all the time). Possibly something else you could charge for.

3. Recurring invoices - email the same invoice every month/week/etc. automatically. Probably need some kind of user account for that.

It looks like an ugly version of the original Invoice Machine (which also offered free invoices without signup).

Very clean, and simple = Time Saver (as opposed to InDesign etc). I'm glad you launched this app, and from one who has studied SaaS - it's a great business model. Kudos. I must agree, the simplicity is something I value. I will refer this to my friends. Keep up the good work, SA.

Although simple, I do think you could use a little more design. I'm not talking about eye candy graphics. Just some CSS touch-ups would do.

would appreciate your thoughts on Invoice Bubble which is my app. It's not free, but it does have SSL security, PDF attaching, client management and stuff like that - but really simple and only $5. https://invoicebubble.com
