If you target EU customers check e-invoicing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PEPPOL to potentially integrate with a gateway. I don't think it's a lot of work and there are test gateways but I believe a lot, if not most, EU businesses who aren't transitioning to it this year will do so very soon and thus are looking for it.

Thank you, support for e-invoices is planned. Issue to track: https://github.com/VladSez/easy-invoice-pdf/issues/121

At this point, Anthropic should acquihire OpenCode.

I’d probably become a chef - cooking has always felt like the most natural non-tech path for me. It’s a craft and a very creative process, with immediate, tangible results.

btw, I worked as a cook for a bit after school before transitioning into tech =)

So fun, really liked the idea.

Wow, that’s impressive! Are you planning to open-source the project? =)

Yes we'd love to. Letting the dust settle first

Awesome. Looking forward to it :)

Super silly question maybe but what is the benefit of just using something along the lines of a word document?

Probably just a matter of preference imo =)

I was using another paid tool my accountant suggested. Then I decided to build my own tool, but free and open-source. It gets the job done at least for me plus I have some ideas how can I improve it further. For example I built a simple automation where an invoice is generated every month, emailed to me for review, and then I forward it to the client.

Funny enough, I’m currently adding e-invoice support to my open-source invoice generator.

App: https://easyinvoicepdf.com/?template=stripe

I’m planning to use this package to generate e-invoice: https://github.com/gflohr/e-invoice-eu

UPD: issue to follow the progress https://github.com/VladSez/easy-invoice-pdf/issues/121

If you have any feedback or suggestions please feel free to reach out to me :)

Thanks. I was about to write something of mine own, but if there is something already for e-invoicing, then maybe it is even easier to implement.

Yeah, this package seems very useful.
