Totally agree, from a technical point of view, PHP would not be our first choice (or second, or third, etc). However, since our customers need to install this on their own infrastructure, we were rather limited in options.
(0. Are we solving a pain / is there a market)
1 - "Will anyone pay for it?
2 - "Can we build something"
3 - "Can we turn a profit on each unit?"
4 - "Can we grow profitably and eventually cover our fixed costs?"<br>
You'd definitely come across more professional when taking criticism to heart rather then getting all defensive.
Also, a major fail IMO, the share buttons are covering the first paragraph of text. This being the first written content visitors will be looking at, you better make this readable as most people aren't as patient as I am and will not stick around...
Not sure about the number of digits in the totals, but obviously this should be unlimited. On our own installation we're in the for digits, so there should not be an issue with this.
Discounts are located in the Financials tab. It's a simple invoicing app, so there's no way to specify a discount based on when the invoice is paid (nor are we likely to implement something like this).
Terms can be placed in the invoice footer.
We also corrected the wording on the install page (SiteCloner is another one of our products, nothing shady going on here :)) and fixed the typos in the install instructions.
Thanks again for pointing out these issues :) Ping us at support@chillyorange.com if you'd like us to you the updated version right away.
Regarding issues on the dashboard; we're not aware of any issues. Would you mind sending an email to support@chillyorange.com so we can figure out what the issue is and hopefully take care of them asap?
The only currency set through the config file is the default one; we placed this in the config file as, typically, you would set this once. Defaults per invoice and client can easily be set through the UI.
a) the lack of support (this applies more to Duet then to Anchor obviously b) the lack of multi currency invoicing. Having the need to invoice customers in 4 different currencies means I can't use either Duet or Anchor :(
Other then that, I personally love self-hosted alternatives to expensive SaaS software!
