        Have you ever used invoice generating tools online?

        I have never used invoice generating tools online. Only offline generation tools.

        Try to make an invoice.

        Done.

        Has the tool got everything that you would expect?

        Yes, it has everything that I would expect on an invoice.

        Is it easy to use?

        Very easy to use and everyone can understand how to use it.

        Would you use this tool if you needed to create an invoice?

        With my experience with the online tool, I am satiified on how it was designed. Simple yet complete.

            Yes

            Try to make an invoice.
            Has the tool got everything that you would expect?

            I may want to add the email address (mine and the client's), change the currency.

            Is it easy to use?

            At first, I didn't find where to edit 'Company Name', 'Company address' and other info which is presented in the sidebar.
            It looks confusing to me that some info is edited there and some - in the body.
            I think it would help if the placeholder text in the body looked different from the rest of the text, so that I could see which is editable.

            Would you use this tool if you needed to create an invoice?

            Does it save the info about me? If so, probably yes, I would. It's not clear how I can save and access it. It doesn't require a login, so should I just save it to bookmarks and the company's info would be saved by default?

                no

                Try to make an invoice.

                ok, it looks simple

                Has the tool got everything that you would expect?

                no, I cannot click the "save" button, or the "finish" button because I cannot find it.

                Is it easy to use?

                very easy

                Would you use this tool if you needed to create an invoice?

                I'd do a research on google with "best free tool to create invoices", then decide what to use. Again, I have never created an invoice, therefore I honestly don't know what is the most convenient tool that can be used.

                    Have you ever used invoice generating tools online?

                    No, but almost. I was doing some freelance / contractor work, and used some SaaS for accounting / bookkeeping.

                    Try to make an invoice.

                    Right now the website seems broken. It shows: {{settings.companyname}} {{settings.address}} instead of the actual variable values.

                    Feel free to tell me if you fix it and I can give it a try

                            Ok, yes works fine

                            Has the tool got everything that you would expect?
                            • Usually there's a field for interest rate, if the customer doesn't pay on time. E.g. 5% interest rate.
                            • And there's usually a contact person, both for the customer, and the supplier.
                            • On invoices I have sent, there's been a footer with details about my company: VAT number, address, phone, email, name.
                            • On invoices I've sent, I've included a column unit-price * num-units. Not just the total, for all units together.
                            Is it easy to use?

                            Hmm at first, I didn't see the fields to the right, with company name etc. I accidentally filled in my company name, in the client's / customer's name placeholder instead.

                            Would you use this tool if you needed to create an invoice?

                            No, I already have a template in Excel that I prefer to use. Then I just copy-paste the last invoice, and edit only the fields I need to edit.

                            I think the design of LoveInvoice is nice, http://www.loveinvoice.com/ looks great. However from my perspective, this service is not needed, it's so simple ... or even simpler, to use plain text files or Excel or LibreOffice instead.

                            Is the plan that LoveInvoice be only about creating invoices? Or do you have in mind creating more features & things?

                            I found this checklist about if an idea is worth pursuing or not: https://www.tillett.info/2016/01/27/a-good-idea-checklist/

                                Thank you, that’s very thoughtful of you. I am early in the UI / UX design career, took this excersice to practice and showcase my skills.
