I built a tool that turns every issue in the project to a tiny-invoice

Does this make sense? So, here’s the context: I ran a product design agency for about 3 years and grew it to 6 figures. For those 3 years, we never got the invoice cleared on time. We would chat with the client regularly, 2-3 times a week on average, get some work approved to move on. But, when it came to the invoice, it never got paid on time. So, I thought, how about we turn each task into an invoice that gets auto paid on approval from the client. Like an escrow, but on a much granular-task level. This ensures work is paid on time regularly, and there’s no need to raise invoices, follow…

In plain words

This tool converts individual project tasks into micro-invoices that automatically trigger payment when clients approve work. Built for service agencies and freelancers, it eliminates traditional invoicing delays by breaking projects into smaller, automatically-paid units. Rather than waiting for large invoices to be processed, creators receive payment immediately upon task approval, reducing payment friction and administrative overhead while ensuring consistent cash flow throughout project completion.

    Hey HN, I’m Atmiya. I built Invoce.ai because invoicing always felt unnecessarily slow and bloated. Most tools make you click through forms and settings just to send an invoice. With Invoce, you simply chat with AI, describe the work you did, and it creates a clean invoice instantly. It’s early and intentionally simple. I’m curious how others here handle invoicing today and what feels most frustrating. Happy to answer questions and hear feedback.

  • Hey there HN! We’re Joe and Stopa, and today we’re open sourcing InstantDB, a client-side database that makes it easy to build real-time and collaborative apps like Notion and Figma. Building modern apps these days involves a lot of schleps. For a basic CRUD app you need to spin up servers, wire up endpoints, integrate auth, add permissions, and then marshal data from the backend to the frontend and back again. If you want to deliver a buttery smooth user experience, you’ll need to add optimistic updates and rollbacks. We do these steps over and over for every feature we build, which can…
