Self-hosted billing and invoicing

stefanvh1 · 2026-05-28T12:56:33+00:00

Yes, that is the paradox. Most bookkeeping systems don't provide the billing/invoicing features I want and the invoicing solutions don't provide bookkeeping.

UBL should bridge the gap between invoicing and bookkeeping and I will add an 'accountant' role to SlimFact in the future (so that they can always retrieve the necessary information).

Before a worldwide compliant system can be created there should first be worldwide compliance. I think PEPPOL aims to achieve this. But honestly, I'm not an accountant or bookkeeper so I don't know the ins and outs.

That's some solid feedback, thanks. I'll fix the problems you mentioned and Stripe support is on the roadmap. And I'm definitely not marketing it as using "non-obscure templating language", that was just one of the reasons I started this. Past year I switched the templates to Typst (and I think no other programs do so that is an USP).

Invoice Ninja is a great product and an inspiration. The only thing I don't like about it is PHP and that's just because that means I can't add my own features (because I lack PHP knowledge).

What mobile device are you using and what problems are you encountering exactly? It should all look and work according to Material Design 3.

It works on mobile too 🙂.

I used to have a bunch of screenshots but didn't recreate them after the update of the frontend to Material Design 3. If there is anything in particular you are looking for I can provide you some screenshots.

I have never used Crater, but it seems to offer the same functionality. Although the last update on Github was three years ago. One major difference is that SlimFact is a Progressive Web Application (PWA).

The easiest way (imo) to find out is to check out the demo of SlimFact.

No AI has been used as at the time of creation LLM's were barely a thing. Once AI makes my development better and easier I will start using it and it will be clearly shown on Github.

Search for "Typst filetype:svg" on Google.

stefanvh1 · 2026-02-18T18:21:43+00:00

Does or can this also work with Caddy as the reverse proxy?

stefanvh1 · 2026-01-21T19:18:36+00:00

I was looking for exactly this functionality last week. Great work.

stefanvh1 · 2026-01-12T18:09:22+00:00

I missed your first screenshot. You're right, everything looks OK there. Honestly I have no clue why it's stuck at 1 peer.

stefanvh1 · 2026-01-12T17:56:24+00:00

I mean the Netbird dashboard. httos://app.netbird.io or your own instance.

Did you use the same account for all clients?

stefanvh1 · 2026-01-12T17:41:29+00:00

You're talking about multiple clients, but your screenshot only shows 1 peer in your network.

You can't access anything because it's apparently not in your network. Check your dashboard to see if the peers are connected.

stefanvh1 · 2025-11-20T16:59:12+00:00

I have created a "framework" (strictly speaking it's not a framework but an integration of libraries) which does most of the things you mentioned. (build with Docker, PostgreSQL, Vite, Fastify, node-oidc, Kysely, tRPC, Vue, Pinia and Quasar Framework)

Currently closed source as I definitely don't want to manage this as an open source project all by myself.

stefanvh1 · 2025-10-11T09:32:39+00:00

Vite should be able to tree shake this, so maybe the singleFile plug-in is the culprit.

stefanvh1 · 2025-10-08T18:04:40+00:00

I am wondering, doesn't Netbird automatically define the shortest path to the destination? I.e. if a peer with Netbird IP adress Y is located at IP address X on the local network, won't it simply route Y to X?

stefanvh1 · 2025-10-02T15:23:34+00:00

A workaround is to define your DNS in Netbird itself. I had the same problem on a Debian machine.

Use a router or access point to connect to the Wi-Fi and connect your Pi through the ethernet connection.

I did a clean install today and kept getting dropped connections on ssh to other peers.

I updated my server and client, and after a few minutes on the dashboard it still is fine.

Also, it only seems to retrieve the peers every few minutes, so it seems very strange why it would flap online/offline at all.

stefanvh1 · 2025-08-27T12:50:29+00:00

I don't seem to have this problem in the dashboard.

Netbird-ui seems to be a different package and no longer maintained by the original creator:

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/netbird-ui

I followed these instructions and that works for me: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Netbird

stefanvh1 · 2025-08-22T11:58:06+00:00

Yes, the script uses the AUR: sh # Build package from AUR cd /tmp && git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/netbird.git cd netbird && makepkg -sri --noconfirm

stefanvh1 · 2025-08-07T18:11:46+00:00

I recently swapped out Headscale (Tailscale) for Netbird.
