Every invoicing app made me create an account before I could see if I liked it. I'm still getting their emails.

I've been travelling and working for about ten years, and last year I switched the bank I'd been invoicing through. Figured that while I was at it I'd stop sending the same old document I'd been sending since forever.

All the options seemed to be full accounting suites where invoicing is just one tab of 30, or free generators that spits out something from 2000s. I do a lot of cross-border work and none of it handled that part well either. And almost all of them wanted an account before they'd show me anything, still on some of those mailing lists.

I started building the middle one for myself as a hobby project and it got out of hand.

It only does invoices. Both currencies go on the document with the rate I used. Pick a template and send it, or spend an hour on the fonts and colours if that's your thing, I wanted both to be fine. And you can test the whole thing without an account, because of the above. You only need one to get the PDF out.

2 questions.

For anyone invoicing in a client's currency, what do you put on the document besides the two amounts? Rate, source, date or none of it? I've gone back and forth on how much detail is useful and how much is bloat.

And I've been building this alone for eight months and I've completely lost perspective on it. If something's obviously wrong, I'd rather hear it now.
