My contribution to this product is the entire back-end, data architecture, and storage. Used VueJS, PHP API, and Cloudant storage.
Invoicing Web App
https://github.com/dlucian/invoicerThis invoicing tool is most useful when the local currency in the country of residence is different from the currency used to sell products or services. It solves this issue by creating duplicate invoices, one copy for the customer, in the foreign currency and language, and one copy for the emitting company, in the local currency and language, which also includes details of the customer's copy (such as the value in the foreign currency).
