Hi HN

I built a small open-source CLI tool that lets you generate professional invoices directly from the terminal.

Write invoices in YAML/JSON Export to clean PDF instantly No SaaS lock-in, no vendor dependency Great for freelancers & developers

The motivation came from constantly struggling with overcomplicated invoicing software while working on side projects. I wanted something minimal, scriptable, and developer-friendly.

I’d love your feedback - Does this solve a real pain point for freelancers/developers? - What features would you expect in a minimal invoicing CLI? - Any ideas for integrations (e.g. Stripe, Notion, etc.)?

Thanks for checking it out!

You might want to put your actual username in those links. Would also be good to see an example PDF or at least screenshot in there.
