What I Shipped in June: A Major Update for Invoiso (v4.2.7)

June was a big month for me since I started working on Invoiso.

I did not just add things. I made it better for businesses that use Invoiso every day. I made it more flexible and reliable.

Here is everything that is new.

๐ŸŽ‰ New Features

๐Ÿ–ฅ๏ธ Multiple Dashboard Layouts

I know people work in ways. So I added three layouts for the dashboard:

  • Classic

  • Bento

  • Simple Feed

Users can change the layout from the bar.. People who already use Invoiso will see a message so they do not miss this new option.

๐Ÿ“„ Executive PDF Template

I made an invoice template that looks really good.

It has:

  • A vertical bar on the side

  • A special section for the company and customer

  • It is easier to read

  • It works with the colors the user chooses

๐ŸŽจ Custom PDF Theme Colors

Invoices do not have to be blue

Users can choose any color they want for their invoices from the settings page.

It is a thing. But it makes invoices feel more personal.

A6 PDF Support

A lot of people asked for this.

Invoiso now works with A6 paper. It makes everything the right size:

  • The words

  • The margins

  • The space between things

It is great for printing invoices and receipts.

โœ๏ธ Signature Support

Businesses can now add their signature to invoices.

They can put it on the left or the right.

The signature shows up above the code and bank details.

๐Ÿ’ฐ Previous Balance Carry Forward

If a customer owes money the invoice can now show how much they already owe.

This makes it easier to send bills without having to change the invoice.

๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿ‡ฐ Sri Lankan Rupee Support

I added the Sri Lankan Rupee to Invoiso. It now shows the symbol.

๐Ÿ’ถ Euro Symbol Improvements

The Euro symbol now looks on all invoice templates.

I checked all the currencies to make sure they look right.

โ˜๏ธ Cloud Foundation

I started working on the version of Invoiso.

I also added a field for the tax number in the company settings.

โœจ UX Improvements

I made a lot of changes to make Invoiso better.

  • A switch to show the quantity in the Compact template

  • The save buttons now show when they are working

  • The logo is in a spot

  • The margins on the invoices are better

  • The templates are more consistent

These are not things. But they make Invoiso feel more polished.

๐Ÿž Bug Fixes

I fixed a lot of problems.

  • A warning when you try to leave a page with an invoice

  • Some crashes

  • Some problems with tax calculations

  • A problem with the database

  • The reports page not showing the invoices

  • Some problems with the signature and templates

  • Some other problems with the interface

What I Learned

The biggest thing I learned is that small changes can add up.

Things like the save buttons working right. The invoices looking good do not get a lot of attention.. They make a big difference for people who use Invoiso every day.

I also learned that making invoices work with paper sizes is harder than I thought.. It makes the code better and easier to work with.

What is Next

I'm currently working on:

  • โ˜๏ธ Full cloud synchronization
  • ๐Ÿ“Š More business reports
  • ๐Ÿ“ฑ Better mobile workflows
  • ๐ŸŽจ Additional PDF templates
  • โšก More customization options

Every new thing I add makes Invoiso a better tool, for businesses.

If you are building a SaaS or Flutter application I would like to hear what you did this month.

Happy building!
