Issue simple PDF invoices fast
Published first version of the new website online for initial testing. Reworked the backend to drop dynamodb and migrated to MySQL. Still fixing few minor issues. But next big step is to integrate automatic work reports, as that is my personal pain in the neck too and I need to file them with invoices to customers :)
Been able to find some time and sort out the dispatcher worker, which sends email with generated invoice.
There are a few minor things missing atm that need to be patched up and then the MVP is ready to test and see responses/reactions.
After some feedback it can be decided what and when functionality upgrades should be coded.
Fixed all the issues while porting stand alone invoice generating code into SaaS logic. Invoices now apear to be generated correctly. Worker responsible for PDF generation is also working without hickups atm.
Next step is to write another "delivery" worker which is going to take final PDF and email it to user. In the future invoices could also be downloaded manually or stored to different locations.
Fixed all the issues with the backend integration to DynamoDB.
And I am now working on the UX. Writing a simple app in flutter where you will be able to cklick through your predifined data and issue new invoice in seconds rather than minutes.
When generated I'll get a PDF of the invoice delivered to my email so I can review it and forward it to the customer.
I had this JS libraries that I wrote that would put together a nice PDF invoice I then sent out to clients. After a while I got tired of manually filling out and generating PDFs so I dumped it into a REST API that is caged inside a docker container and served from the cloud.
