I&#x27;ve been building this product for a while. Even though there aren&#x27;t any loading indicators, I think it&#x27;s still good enough to get out there!<p>I&#x27;ve used this project as a test bed for learning new technologies. And what did I learn? That using Docker and Kubernetes effectively is harder than I thought it would be.<p>Some maybe interesting things about the technology used:<p><pre><code> * It&#x27;s almost 100% TypeScript * What&#x27;s not TypeScript is plpgsql * Postgres * Nodejs * Docker * Deployed to a Kubernetes cluster * React on the frontend * React also renders HTML on the backend (for the PDF generation and emails too)</code></pre>

I&#x27;m a personal friend of John&#x27;s, so I&#x27;ll just +1 this project. It&#x27;s a pretty solid and simple invoicing tool. Quick form to produce the invoice from a template, sends the email with a pdf version attached, and then gives you a tool to track sent-invoices states. He&#x27;s been doing contract work a while so he&#x27;s hit all the features you&#x27;d want from this.<p>If you&#x27;re doing contract work, I&#x27;d suggest giving it a shot. Invoices are always a PITA so this is handy. Congrats on the release John
