great job! as a bonus, it gives those interested in laravel a chance to see other packages to use for various functionality. https://github.com/hillelcoren/invoice-ninja definitely curious if this will there ever use a paid business model. i'm guessing a more robust feature set for a monthly fee?

"About us" should really be.... about you, not some strange mix of "features" and "technology".

Given the number short-lived web apps that appear and disappear, the about us page is becoming one of the most important. Any "about us" that doesn't mention people is an immediate close for me.

It doesn't matter if you're a one-man band, put up a picture and work out what details of your life so far will cause people to trust you.

Hi, thanks for all the great feedback (I'm the developer of the app). @matthewmacleod That's a good suggestion, we'll work on it. @lnanek2 Yes, but we're free :) @ville, Our first concern is to perfect the application, making money will come later. @peteacc.

If you want to consider mak…

Actually this app allows you to enter your company details and then its detail will be placed at the top of the invoice (like you suggested)

In the demo you can't see that because you didn't enter your company details

An extra space at the end of the email address field errors out with 'please provide a valid email address'.

Could you trim that field before validating?

Cool, reminds me of invoiceomatic.io, which has a 'robot' theme.

I look forward to invoicepirate.com (invoicing for piracy), invoicezombie.com (invoicing for reanimating dead projects), and invoicedinosaur.com (invoicing for ancient legacy projects that should be extinct).

....I really don't want to try another invoicing app. There's already dozens, everything from heavy PayPal, to Intuit Network, to light Harvest...

So don't?

I believe the idea is feedback that invoicing is a flooded market, like bug/issue trackers.
