Comment on Show HN: I created a PDF invoice generator the way I want itparent

Comments

thank you for the feedback, it totally makes sense to want those fetures. and yes, I've also seen that there are a lot of sites like that.

its tempting to implement but also comes with more complexities, which Im at this stage not that exited to hop on. I'm thinking of:

- need for a backend with login/authentication -> kills the endless scalability aspect of only having a frontend.

- there are soo many competing tools already existing. Im not sure what my moat would be.

- For me, as a freelancer with max 1 assigments per month so far, a standalone pdf-maker like this one is preferred over being locked in to a Saas product.

- in that case I would want support for e-invoices which seems a bit bureaucratic to get in place
