That's all? I expected something like duetapp or better.. :/ Here's the same, but opensource so that you can customize to your own needs. http://css-tricks.com/html-invoice/

#32I dont get it. How is this so much better than having a, say, rtf document template on your own computer and emailing attachments from there? Or if you want to email a pdf there's printing to e.g cute pdf.
it's just one step instead of 2,3, etc better mousetrap :)

#34I wrote something similar to this a few years ago: http://billable.me There's nothing wrong with a bit of competition and it makes me wonder if this space needs something... Why do these keep appearing?
What technology did you use to build it? Or generate the PDF that fast?

#36I scanned over the list once or twice, but I did not see in the currency list RMB (Renminbi, Kuai), China's main currency. Just wanted to give you a heads up.
Edit: We've had a look and there is already support for CNY. Are invoices normally specified in RMB ?

#37I'd love to be able to specify the subtotal after VAT is applied as well, since that's often what you quote in practice and converting that to pre-VAT prices is a PITA. VAT is also actually called BTW here, so the ability to change how VAT is called would be useful as well.

It's built on node.js, there's a great command line tool called wkhtmltopdf: https://github.com/antialize/wkhtmltopdf

#40For instance, in the UK (which appears to be where this company is based), all invoices for VAT registered companies must carry their VAT Registration Number. However with this tool, even if you select to include VAT in the settings (which you must do if you're VAT registered), there is no box or prompt to include your VAT reg no.
I.E., never rely on 3rd party services to make sure you are complying with the law. It's your backside on the line if you or they get it wrong.
