Thanks for posting, looks pretty polished to me! Lowkey love the design, super modern finance applications do make me irrationally afraid. Perhaps it's trauma from Navient-administered student loans...

I will say this is by far the most passionate README.md I've ever seen, lol;

  Intuit didn't invent accounting; they've stolen it. Accounting existed before computers, databases, and software. Transactions were recorded in physical journals using pen and paper, which forced accountants to have a better understanding of company finances due to the process of manual entry, with little room for error. Now, the process has been automated through software, and the journal entries are hidden away, leaving only the final report to spot errors and fraud. None of you can call yourselves accountants; you're just QwackBooks users. The truck drivers of the office. Your boss thinks of you as a whiny, tail-dragging *****.
Do you have any particular reason/motivating experience for this ethos? Why not just use a piece of a paper/the default Excel ledger template/the `ledger` CLI tool if it's so important to do things by hand?

P.S. "Truck drivers of the office"...?






There are multiple reasons.

1. Intuit discontinued QB desktop on may 31 this year. 2. Intuit recently raised prices. 3. QB online has terrible navigation. I can make invoice in my system in less clicks. 4. I needed a feature to optionally print supporting documents with the invoice while having the ability to arrange the order of those documents. I then can integrate with mailing service and have PDF ready to mail programmatically. Instead of having to join PDFs together. (this feature doesn't work cause I can't afford IronPDF, it's the only PDF package I would use). 5. I don't like any limits on users or numbers of invoices I can have in my system. 6. Excel is error prone for more than a few records. Drag and drop accidentally one cell to another? 7. Multi-tenancy. I wanted to manage multiple companies without logging out.
