Great site and idea, thank you. I also built a free and open-source invoice generator, no signup and no ads. Check it out: https://easyinvoicepdf.com/?template=stripe https://github.com/VladSez/easy-invoice-pdf

Tangent discussion if I may. This is the first I've ever seen gitAds, And well, I'm not even sure what I want to ask:

* Wouldn't github disapprove of it?

* The website doesn't give a ton of credibility to it (e.g. the user story slider) and I couldn't find much from a cursory web search on it. Do you find them trustworthy?

* Are you even finding it valuable?

I do a similar thing with https://www.thateasy.me/ I use it to test the latest coding/automation tools. I think I prefer your design :)

Can I request Germany for holiday optimizer?

this should be done, feel free to try it!

I've been wanting to create a similar holiday optimizer tool myself, but what you've done is marvelous! Do you take requests for new countries? I see that you're using https://date.nager.at/ as the source and country is listed, so perhaps it's easily doable?

I've added more countries now, feel free to see if it works for you :)

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I do have analytics on it to see what pages/tools are most visited

I've had good luck with https://www.goatcounter.com/ for my personal site. I found it from this thread from several years ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22044854

This is super cool, thank you for sharing this. It could be really useful for a current project!

I have found them on X.com

This is the project from those guys https://x.com/githubprojects

They launched this new product, GitAds, a couple of months ago, and I decided to give it a try.

GitHub doesn’t seem to mind, and GitAds seems trustworthy, but I don’t see much value in having their ads in my repo, so I might remove them soon =)
