vanyaiam··on Show HN: I made it easy to create invoices
Thanks. I just tried it. Im confident my tool is easier to use, offers a better experience and does not overwhelm users.

That is just my opinion though. If you find Zoho good, thats great as well.

Im not going to reach true scale here mate. Even if i create 200.000 invoices a day, the cost will be near 0.
vanyaiam··on Show HN: I made it easy to create invoices
True. I got so much valuable feedback from you guys. I really can not thank you enough for the support.
vanyaiam··on Show HN: I made it easy to create invoices
Can you link me one? I want to compare the UIUX, speed of creating an invoice, how smart it is etc. Thanks!
vanyaiam··on Show HN: I made it easy to create invoices
Thanks. I will implement this converter as well. Forgive me as the product JUST launched.
vanyaiam··on Show HN: I made it easy to create invoices
i will do my BEST to make sure it's follows all laws in all of my users countries. Please do not buy the product if it does not fit your country yet. Instead DM me on X @vanyaiam and let me know you would be interested in such a tool!
vanyaiam··on Show HN: I made it easy to create invoices
haha that sounds way harder than what im doing atm :D

thanks for the laugh!

I dont have anything to hide. Its not a registered company yet. Just a tool i made for a group of freelancers, and some people found it useful and cool.

I will make sure the company details are on the website as soon as possible.

Im trying my best to make sure everything is as it should be. Im currently talking to all users who bought it, researching country specifics and getting help from smart people like you. This is why im asking for feedback here. The amount of smart people is amazing.
vanyaiam··on Show HN: I made it easy to create invoices
Thank you so much!

Im currently talking to users, and going country by country making sure its good.

An example, invoicing for Denmark works. Try it out yourself, its free.

I think its fine that they have to sign up tbh. Im not asking for any payment or anything before they try the tool and like it.

vanyaiam··on Show HN: I made it easy to create invoices
Im currently talking to all users to make sure the system can provide exactly what they need for each country.

This is also why theres a free trial. To make sure that users see what the system is capable off before they buy it. I never want to take money from people without providing value.

vanyaiam··on Show HN: I made it easy to create invoices
No this is so good!! Im just trying things and learning as i go. Im in no way stating that this is the perfect idea or the perfect product.

From what i have seen in the freelancing world, the alternatives are way more feature packed, but way harder to use, and they all come with a monthly bill - some even charge based off of how much you are invoicing.

The customer profile is freelancers and small business owners, who just want to send some invoices whenever they need - without having a monthly bill.

Im already considering doing 35$ a year instead of a one-time payment going forward with new customers.

Thank you so much for the detailed feedback. Trust me, i appreciate you guys a lot.

Thank you for your input.
vanyaiam··on Show HN: I made it easy to create invoices
Im currently going case by case till i have everything right. Im currently trying to talk to every user who bought the package, and making sure everything is good for their country.

Thats why i made the free trial, so users can see what it is before they pay. I never want to take money from anyone if i cant provide value.

Please forgive me for not having the perfect product. I just launched it.

vanyaiam··on Show HN: I made it easy to create invoices
Man so many smart people here, i cant thank you guys enough.

I really like the 35$ a year model a LOT. Im strongly considering this going forward. I will of course not change it for users who already paid.

I do understand your reasoning, and also from a business perspective, its much better.

Currently on the GDPR right now.

I cant thank you enough.

vanyaiam··on Show HN: I made it easy to create invoices
Alright, i appreciate you a lot. Thanks.
vanyaiam··on Show HN: I made it easy to create invoices
I understand your point. I will think about it more. Thanks!
vanyaiam··on Show HN: I made it easy to create invoices
Will fix that asap. In terms of sustaining it, i just want to provide value first. It does not cost me much to run this service, so number one priority is that users have a safe space to create invoices. I will worry about myself later.

Thanks!

vanyaiam··on Show HN: I made it easy to create invoices
The system is smart enough to know VAT rate, currency, banking information required etc for each country.
vanyaiam··on Show HN: I made it easy to create invoices
Can you enlighten me as to how it does not comply with GDPR? I would love to make sure it does.

My bad on the email. Fixed now!

I can assure you its not a template. Im working very hard on making the product good. Please forgive me, as i just launched.

vanyaiam··on Show HN: I made it easy to create invoices
It allows users to create invoices fast and without having to pay a monthly bill.

Im a freelancer myself, and some of my friends had this problem too, so i made it into a product.

While you can edit a template on Word and create invoices, it does not remember your company information, payment details, and you don't have an overview of all of your invoices, customers etc. Not to be rude, but that's like saying "Why would i use Uber when i can just pick up my phone and call a cab" - convenience, cheaper, faster.

I think a lot of business owners and freelancers would like a tool where they dont have a monthly bill. A tool that is easy to use etc.

With that said, i do see your point and trust me, i dont plan to stop here. This is just the beginning. Thank you so much for your input.

vanyaiam··on Show HN: I made it easy to create invoices
First of all, thank you so much for taking the time to give me your feedback.

1: I understand your concern in terms of google auth. I always refused to implement it because i did not want google to have information about my users, but every developer told me i was missing out on so many signups, so i tried it this time. Now it hurts me to see that a potential customer walked away.

2: In terms of the actual invoice, I will implement this instantly.

I hope it will be good enough one day for you to give it a chance. I appreciate you a LOT.

vanyaiam··on Show HN: I made it easy to create invoices
Thank you so much for the feedback. I will implement this!
vanyaiam··on Show HN: I Built an Invoicing Tool
Yea, the idea is that no one really needs to create more than 1000 invoices, but i also see your point. Thank you so much. Will change it now.
