Invoicing I just used inkscape but it’s not great. Be prepared to make some sacrifices, but it’s all worthy to get rid of microsoft.
How is Inkscape used for invoicing? You cretate the invoice as vector graphic template and just replace the text?
I don’t ever do any invoicing myself, so I am not clear on the requirements here. But a template in LibreOffice Draw could perhaps work for this purpose? There might be some way to programtically replace the fields, and if you store client and project details in a database it should eventually be a matter of choosing which client to bill for which project and click “Go!”. I would aim for such a self-made setup to be independent on any license-ridden software. But again, I don’t do this, so I might have missed some important part of the puzzle.
Yeah, I don’t know. I know that there are softwares specific for invoicing but I’ve never used one, nor did I use to send too many invoices. Most of the time I was an employee, doing some other freelances, so it wasn’t too much to keep track.
I used Inkscape because I was more used to it, working with graphics most of my life. LibreOffice is probably easier. But I don’t know how that’s supposed to be done with proprietary softwares either.
Hopefully someone with more experience on this can help him.
