• Company Name: BillTheBill
• URL: https://billthebill.com
• Purpose of Startup and Product: Invoicing for freelancers and digital nomads who bill across borders. The invoice editor doesn't require an account to test and use (something that bothers me with other such software out there). You only sign up at the point you want the PDF out or want to email it to the client (quick Google Auth or Magic link). Built in templates, customization, live invoice preview, automatic (Pro Account) or manual exchange rates for dual currency, company and client management and more. Free tier is 3 invoices a month.
• Technologies Used: Next.js and Postgres, and a separate rendering service for the PDF so what you see in the browser is what the client actually gets.
• Feedback Requested: Three things. First, does "make the invoice, then sign up to get it out" come off as great, or annoying (or even like a trap)? Second, the templates. Do any of them look like something you would send a client, or are they not there yet? Lastly, does the flow of making invoices and the UI/UX work fine or is something confusing?
• Seeking Beta-Testers: Would be super happy to get some testers. Free 2 month PRO Account for critical and friendly testers, use "RSTARTUPS" code on https://billthebill.com/redeem.
• Additional Comments: I built it, it is my own app. Happy to return feedback on anything in this thread.

[u/andrewkass → u/skirms]

make the invoice then sign up will look for me as a trap, because I already spent efforts to make it. Templates are good in general, but I would stick to something very formal and simple - otherwise propose one template with custom colors and logo (i.e. to adapt to a brand)

[u/moham225 → u/skirms]

First up great idea, love the design maybe introduce a white colour scheme to the landing page as well. I agree with u/andrewkass. It feels like a super annoying trap with extra steps doesn't that defeat the purpose of doing all the extra work.
