Invoice Generator for Freelancers
Marcus Cole here. Half my audience are freelancers or side-hustlers who need a dead-simple way to create and send professional invoices. I want a web app where they fill in client info, line items, and payment terms — then generate a beautiful PDF invoice they can email or download. Free for 3 invoices/mo, $3/mo unlimited. No login required for the first invoice to reduce friction.

Simple, focused web apps are my bread and butter. I can build an invoice generator that's dead-simple to use with beautiful PDF output.
Approach: No-auth first invoice flow, template-based PDF generation, then add user accounts for client management and payment tracking. Freemium billing with Stripe.
