if you're a freelancer or run a small business:

- What invoicing tool do you use and what pisses you off about it?
- Do you ever just use Word/Excel instead? Why?
- How many invoices do you send per month?
- Would you pay a one-time fee to remove watermarks from a free tool, or would you rather just deal with it?

Not selling anything — genuinely researching what to build. Appreciate any honest thoughts.

Over the past months I built and sold 3 small apps on Flippa:

- pixstack.app ($400)

- glazelab.app ($600)

- imagetools.pro ($350)

Quick cash, learned a ton, but each time I shipped and moved on. None of them felt like something I wanted to grow long-term.

So I decided to try something different. I'm building one to keep: NeatInvoice.app (https://neatinvoice.app) — a free invoice generator.

The philosophy is simple: you land on the page, you start typing, you download a PDF. No sign-up. No watermark. No account needed. It just works.

What's live right now:

- Real-time WYSIWYG editor with live preview

- 40+ currencies

- Line items with auto-calculations

- Tax, discounts, shipping

- PDF export (pixel-perfect, no branding)

- Auto-save to your browser

- Works on mobile

- Optional account if you want cloud sync

It's completely free at the moment. Later I'll add a paid tier for watermark removal and extra templates — but the core tool stays free forever.

Would love brutally honest feedback. What's missing? What would make you actually use this over just opening Excel?

Thanks all.
