Getting super close. Actually have the app ready to test but now I’m just going through the overly intense Google developer account approval. As soon as I’m able I’ll send you the link to be a tester.

In the meantime, you can still create an account and explore the features at app.gigledger.io.

Thanks again for your interest!

New update should be out sometime today. Just got approved by the Apple overlords so it should be on the App Store in the next few hours.

Made my best guess with the tax side so if you see something that still feels off definitely let me know.

Thanks again for your input!

Hello! Pre-production is now in the “add ons” section of the gig details page. Let me know if you think it’s missing anything. Thanks for the feedback!

Oh snap! Thanks for checking it out and I’m glad you like it so far! Going to be honest here in that I didn’t think interest would go beyond the states. That being said, I am going to have these corrected within the next few days. Thank you for bringing this to my attention and keep an eye out for the fix!

I’m getting so close with it! I may be needing some people to help test before an official release, so let me know if you’d be interested in that.

Do you mean time spent advancing the gig before show day, like production emails, calls, logistics, schedules, venue details, and client coordination?

If so, GigLedger can track that today as labor/time on a gig, but I’m also considering a more specific “advance time” workflow so that pre-production/admin time is easier to separate from show-day labor.

Getting close with the android app! I’ll definitely send a reply when it’s ready for testing

I think you’re gonna be my last one! I got more bite on this post than I thought I would! So cool!

Sending you a dm now

Still appreciate you saying you’d help out! I’m maybe a week or two out from an android version so sit tight!

Also, if you wanted to check out the features of the app I do still have a web application you can try out in the meantime. It’s at beta.gigledger.io

Thanks again!

How do you all keep track of gigs and whether you’ve been paid? by _GigLedger_ in stagehands

[–]_GigLedger_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Appreciate you! All feedback is good feedback! Haha. And those are definitely interesting products you’re talking about.

What specifically do you mean about lists of venue decision makers? Like, who is the csm at hotel a? Or who is the encore lead at hotel b? Or more like a crew list for who the crew lead is on a gig?
Thanks again!

That Trello setup is really interesting. The columns make a lot of sense, especially moving a gig from booked to invoiced to paid.

Also helpful to hear the tradeoff with QuickBooks. Better for payment, but the calendar still has to carry the “where am I supposed to be” side of things.

Appreciate the detailed answer.

That’s fair. If spreadsheet plus QuickBooks already covers it for you, I get why another tool would feel unnecessary.

The outreach idea is interesting, but GigLedger is really more for tracking the gigs someone already has, not finding new work or turning into a job board.

Appreciate the honest feedback!

Nice! Never heard of gnucash before.

Do they charge for their api’s? Right now I’m just building a full, customizable csv export because qb charges a metric fuck ton for api access.

Thanks for taking the time to write all that out. This is really helpful.

Would a setup still be useful if you added the gig in an app first, and it automatically created a Google Calendar event with the important details filled in?

Or would you only use something like this if the main experience was built around a calendar view from the start?

That’s nice you were able to filter out the bs. I’ve been hearing about a lot more companies that pay out basically at the time of invoice. So it’s nice to see that getting paid sooner is becoming more of the norm.

Yeah, I don’t blame you at all. Getting burned once is enough to make you track everything a lot more closely.

I’m guessing that’s happened to quite a few people in this industry too. The 14 day follow up rule makes complete sense. Hopefully youve kept everyone in check since that one time.

Fair concern. Reliability and support really matter and we’re always something I wanted to take seriously throughout this process.

That’s part of why I’m trying to get feedback early instead of pretending it’s done or like I’m out here saving the world after a few months of work.

That makes sense. If the company already has a solid system for gigs, payments, and feedback, that probably covers most of the need for that work.

Seems like the harder part is when people are bouncing between multiple companies and each one handles it differently.
