I don’t exactly feel like typing everything back in again.

Integration with online invoicing apps is at the top of the list, including FreshBooks. Stay tuned:-)

I’m a contractor for a software company, so that will be perfect for me. I wish I would have had this back in January when I started. I think it will help me from getting drilled with a huge tax bill in May!

Thanks again for the link and info!

Further, I hate the UI of Quickbooks and the cost. Bootstrap looks like a possible alternative for my uses. It would be especially useful if it could be integrated with an invoicing service like Freshbooks.

Good thing I’ve had a pathetic year.

If it’s tailored to Schedule C filers, and stays that way, then I won’t be able to use it, as we just formed an S-Corp. But if they expand to also include very small bootstrapped companies that want more protection from liabilities than true self-employed person, I’m all game for having something simple to use while we’re just getting started.

We’ve definitely kept it as simple as possible for all those Schedule C filers out there. We will be adding support for “receivables” and “payables”, though we’ll never use those terms:-) The rest will be driven by customer feedback and suggestions. Would love to hear what Web Worker Daily readers want us to add next.

Thanks,
