I pushed an update to improve the mobile experience a bit. It's a bit awkward because of the simulated modals that are displayed inline. Can you give it a test and see if it's still giving you trouble? Thanks!

Fair point, I'll look into that. Thanks!

Super cool! Love that you can declare the screenshots inline in the markdown document.
For my desktop app I created a solution that generates screenshots in multiple languages, light/dark mode, removes noise and adds Windows/macOS window frames.
Wrote about it here: https://maxschmitt.me/posts/cakedesk-website-redesign#screen...
It's currently a separate script (which is a pain to maintain). I should look into making it a part of the markdown/mdx. Thanks for the inspiration!

Cakedesk: Fast & simple invoicing app for small businesses (Windows & Mac).
Been working on this for about 4 years. It has some cool features, like letting you create your own PDF templates with HTML/CSS. Most users love that it's so simple and just a one-time purchase.
Currently thinking about how to implement an Obsidian-style cloud sync feature since that gets requested a lot.

Easy Move+Resize is great for this on macOS: https://github.com/dmarcotte/easy-move-resize

Are there any good videos showcasing a productive Emacs setup like this and how it's used for everyday tasks?

I love sites like this. I'm always looking for more apps that let me keep using them even if I stop paying for updates. Adding a $10 monthly subscription will stop me from using most products but I'll gladly pay $100+ for some quality software that I can keep

I've been using Dokku for many years. It's remarkably stable and easy to use. I wrote an extensive tutorial on how to deploy various apps and websites with Dokku in 2018 [1] and I'm sure that following the same steps still works 6 years later.

I haven't heard many developers/designers talk about the overused practice of using toasts for UI feedback.
The post shares a few real-world examples and illustrates some of the problems with how they use toasts.
What do you think? Are toasts overused? In which cases do you use them in your own apps?

This looks really well done! I was able to create a simple animation easily even though I don't know anything about animation software.
By the way, your "Features" page is really well made. I would showcase those features on the homepage. I didn't find the list of features until I clicked the link in one of your comments on HN.
You can also make your project more appealing on the homepage by including a looping demo animation (to see what's possible) and a screenshot of the tool.
Best of luck with the project!

This is really well made! I know from my experience building Cakedesk [1] that the requirements of invoices vary greatly from country to country and from user to user.
Some things you can add to appeal to more people that are useful to most:
* Keep track of clients and personal info so the user doesn't have to type the address / invoice IDs every time
* Allow users to keep track of which items are paid/unpaid
* Allow users to declare sales tax on the invoices
* Allow users to upload their own HTML-based invoice designs
* Allow users to add subitems to items
Good luck with the project, it looks well-made and it will be useful for many people!
