Hello,

From some months now, I'm working on a minimalist solution for my own invoicing needs. I thought it was better to push this forward, and to finish the job: I've made https://fossbill.org

Fossbill is a simple billing tool. It allows to manage customers, products, and bills. We values efficiency, reliability, and accessibility.

I also made a documentation companion website available here: https://docs.fossbill.org

The project is open-source, is licensed with AGPL, and is really easy to self-host. My instance is a SaaS that cost 10 euros monthly.

Congrats! Looks interesting.

I think it would be great if you could add more screenshots to the documentation. Beyond the landing page, I couldn't see how the bills look once generated, or how to generate one.

Maybe it's there and I just missed it.

You right, I didn't included screenshots of the generated PDFs yet. Here what it look atm for a draft, then a bill.

As you can see, it is still quite minimal. I intend to add (1) editable user styles, and (2) brand logos you could add to your user account, and to your customers.

Some off the shelf screenshots would be great for people to see what it looks like before trying it. Good work overall!

Nice! I would like to try it and also like to keep things isolated. So it's time to build my first docker Container I guess.

I expect the Dockerfile to be quite simple. Would you share your recipe so I can add it the the project root?

Will do once I figure it out
