What it does
Most job software assumes a team and an office manager. SoloDesks assumes there's one of you. Quote on-site, turn it into an invoice without retyping, and let Overdue Autopilot chase what goes quiet at 7, 14 and 21 days. Free to start.
Quotes, invoices and job scheduling for solo tradespeople: plumbers, electricians, painters, handymen. Chase late payments automatically. Free to start.
Then the invoice, the chasing and next week's jobs, with nobody to hand it to. Whatever's on the side of the van, this is what goes out with your name on top. Example invoices across 8 different trades, each on the same clean layout with your business name at the top and the total in bold. Some marked paid, some sent and waiting. Example layouts across 8 trades, drawn here rather than exported. The real PDF is below, and yours carries your own logo. About 500,000 UK construction businesses are missing from the official register. That is 57 % of the industry. Two government datasets count Britain's builders and land half a million apart. We did the arithmetic, named both sources and…from solodesks.com

A $20/year invoicing tool for solo developers (simple, fast, no bloat)Dec 2025 · sidepay.app · ▲13Hi HN! I built a super lightweight invoicing platform for solo developers, freelancers, and one-person businesses. Most invoicing software costs $20–$40/month and is packed with features you don’t need. Mine is $20/year and focuses on the essentials: • Create invoices in seconds • Send invoices by email • Automatic email reminders • Recurring invoices • Simple dashboard for paid/unpaid tracking • No team features, no CRM, no bloat I built this because I freelance occasionally, and every invoicing tool I tried either felt bloated, overly enterprisey, or was way too expensive…

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…

I might be the only SRE on Earth with his own bowling center. It's a more in-depth gig than you'd think. My family and I bought an abandoned 8-lane bowling center in the rural mid-west. In our small town there weren't many recreation options for families. You've heard of a food desert? This is an R&R desert. It had been abandoned for a good reason. The roof leaks, the electrical system was constantly surging, and my 70-year-old bowling equipment (still) doesn't work perfectly. The system that keeps your score is particularly interesting to me. It's the thing you watch during your game, but…

Over the past few months, our team has been building more and more slidedecks using web frontend technologies with coding harnesses like Claude Code, but a common complaint is to make even small edits we need to edit the code either manually or via the harness. To avoid this loop, I ended up creating Bento, a single HTML file with everything you need in a slide tool including animations and shared editing. There's no install or cloud login, everything works offline. The default deck is around 560 KB and it doesn't need to fetch anything once you got it. Open it in a browser and then you can…

A few days ago I found myself trying out GLM 5.2 and was really positively impressed. The capabilities and security I was getting from this LLM are similar to those I've gotten from models like Claude or GPT, and this really surprised me. But then I thought, "I wonder how it would work on a normal computer like mine," and above all, "I wonder if it would work without going into OOM on a computer like mine." So I started working with the help of agents to test this possibility. I started converting the model to int4, understanding MTP usage, and if possible implementing DSA for long context.…

OpenSEO▲928Hello! For the last 2 months, I've been building OpenSEO. It's a user friendly UI wrapping the DataForSEO API which has high quality SEO data for keywords, backlinks, AI SEO and competitor research. Instead of paying $100+ per month, you buy DataForSEO credits and pay only for usage. The coolest thing about the project so far has been hearing about what people are building on top of it. People are using coding agents to quickly integrate with Google Search Console, Google Ads and building their own AI SEO and reporting features. Many were already building their own custom solutions around…
