It keeps me focussed and efficient. And it may sound silly, but it also makes me feel like I'm part of a community.</p> <p>In a world increasingly shaped by LLMs and AI agents, I've found myself feeling nostalgic for the basics.</p> <p>That's why, for all my freelancer CLI-friends who struggle with context-switching; hate the complexity of today's invoicing tools; or simply like the idea of more CLI &lt;3, I have created <a href="https://billed.dev/" rel="noopener noreferrer">Billed</a>. </p> <p>All you need to do is to run <code>npm i billed</code> and get started with <code>bill --init-config</code>.</p> <p>It's all run locally, there are no integrations needed and you can customise.</p> <p>I'd love to know what you think!</p> programming opensource npm cli
