[LRUG] [OT?] online invoicing

[javier ramirez]

Hi,

disclaimer: this mail is completely full of shameless self-promotion

> can people recommend an online invoicing solution (for home businesses 
> doing smallish gigs like myself and co.)

We offer this service at https://invoicefu.com

It's oriented to freelances and small companies with simple invoicing 
needs and also to application developers who want to use invoicing as a 
service instead of rolling their own solution.

You can basically create proformas (estimates) and invoices, share them 
with your clients or accountant via read-only URIs or just sending a 
PDF, keep client records, see pending payments and get some reports 
(well, we are going to deploy the reports feature this week :p). Taxes 
and currencies are configurable and the resulting PDF can be used as an 
electronic invoice in the UK. There's a quite small but handy mobile app 
available that we hope to improve soon.

If you are on Heroku and you want to access programatically to the API, 
there's an extension available.

If you want to do something fancy with your data, you can use the API 
and get JSON/XML quite easily. Examples for getting all your invoices or 
client records from the command line would be

curl 
https://invoicefu.com/api/accounts/3-javier-ramirez/invoices?api_key=85374e0ea4ceefa03b85374e0ef1b69a3b37b96d4ceefa0bbdb23f&format=json
curl 
https://invoicefu.com/api/accounts/3-javier-ramirez/clients?api_key=85374e0ea4ceefa03b85374e0ef1b69a3b37b96d4ceefa0bbdb23f&format=json


The API is fully RESTful, including the HATEOAS constraint, and if you 
were attending the session on usable APIs at LRUG, all the usability 
tips I was talking about are implemented there.

It's developed in Rails 3.0.x and all the tests are green at the moment 
of sending this e-mail.

Cheers,

j
