That’s correct

Agreed!

You can use the `--to` flag and something like FZF or Gum to populate that from a text file.

`pop --to $(fzf contacts.txt)`

Totally, thanks so much! Also I do plan on adding different templates in the future through a --template flag which would write different PDFs based on the value selected.

Hey! Author here, I probably would have posted this to HN since this tool is just meant to make invoice generation possible from the command line. Now that we have this tool it's quite easy to add more templates (just another flag) and it can customize the look of the invoice.

Same here, finally got around to building it! Thanks for the support!

Yes! Soon, there will be JSON / YAML import support. I definitely want to add some more templates as well.

Yes, this is definitely possible with troff/groff/latex/etc... I built this tool as I wanted nice looking invoices that could be generated instantly. I want to add templates in the future so that I can change the style as well. I spend most of my time on the CLI so having interoperability with other tools such as `date` and `time` etc... to combine commands and script the generation process was one of my goals.

That's a good point. I definitely want to support different formats will probably need to support a --format and --template flag as well.

We definitely want to add an option to record a session which would output a generated file for you!

This is actually really cool. Thanks for sharing this!

We started off hand rolling the parser and had that fully implemented and then wrote the tree-sitter grammar. If I were to do it again I would probably use tree-sitter for the actual repo so that the implementations were the same for sure.

Author here. Fair point! Definitely forgot to compress it and make it smaller. Thanks for the call out.

Thank you so much for the kind words! It really means a lot.
