I rebuilt my freelancer invoice generator "Billwise" - would love some honest feedback

Hey everyone,

I’ve been working on v2 of a small tool called Billwise. It started as a personal invoice generator because I kept repeating the same boring monthly invoice work: updating dates, counting working days, changing hours, recalculating totals, and exporting a PDF.

The new version is built with Laravel + Vue/Inertia and is focused on one simple workflow:

  • add sender and client details
  • choose hourly, daily, fixed, or timesheet billing
  • generate working days for a selected month
  • adjust hours manually if needed
  • add payment details
  • export a clean PDF invoice
  • autosave the draft locally in the browser

Right now it’s intentionally simple. No signup is needed for the public version, and the invoice draft is stored in local browser storage instead of a cloud account. I may add accounts later for saved clients, invoice history, templates, etc., but I didn’t want to overbuild it before seeing if people actually find it useful.

The main use case is freelancers or contractors who invoice monthly and need a timesheet-style invoice without opening an old Word/Excel/PDF file every time.

I’d appreciate your feedback.

Not trying to make a full accounting app. More like a clean, practical invoice generator for freelancers who bill by hours/days/monthly work.
