Hey hunters! 👋 For the past 6 months, I have been building Afloat with my friend @abraxas_. We are very excited to finally share it on Product Hunt! Why? I've been working as a freelancer for more than 10 years. Invoicing and accounting has always made me feel frustrated and stressed. Most of the systems I tried, use complicated forms, force me to use features I don't need or have invoice designs that are terrible. There were lots of copy-pasting, repetition, and human error. How? We wanted Afloat to be super easy to use with a big focus on the user experience. A clean and calm space that reduces the stress around invoices, expenses, and accounting. Afloat is smart and reactive. When possible, it suggests, autocompletes, and offers a preview of the content, so everything is one click away. And yes, we put a lot of time and care into the invoice design :-) This is the tool we've always wanted. You can finally focus on what really matters. MAIN FEATURES ✨ Visual Invoice Editor A truly WYSIWYG invoice editor that exports beautiful invoices in pdf, without surprises. ⚡️ Suggestions and Autocompletion Afloat suggests and autocompletes your items, clients, currencies, tax percentages, layout designs, and many other details. Creating and exporting an invoice takes literally 3 clicks. 💸 Expenses Add your receipts in a second and keep track of what you've paid and what's pending. 📝 Tax Returns Collecting invoices and receipts each tax season is super tedious and stressful. Afloat fixes this with one button. Get a .zip containing all your income and expenses organized in folders, and automatically generated spreadsheets with all your information. All you need to do is send it to your accountant and you're done. 💅 Templates We are working on a bunch of beautiful templates for your invoices. If you want us to include your design, contact us!
WHAT'S NEXT? We have a lot of things planned for the future. A public API and integrations with other systems like Stripe are coming soon. We built Afloat from the ground up to be a robust and modular system that powers all the smart features, and allows us to iterate quickly. We are releasing new features every week based on conversations with our users. Thanks to them, we've translated our invoices into 8 languages and added custom tax labels. Let's build the future of Afloat together!

Looking good! I can see this turning into a powerful counting solution for a lot of people. I see you can generate invoices in different languages, but it's not possible to generate an invoice that has two languages at the same time, right? I.e. field names in two languages on the same document (e.g. freelancer lives in Germany but the customer is American. The freelancer needs a German voice for the German tax authorities but American customer needs English.)

@anna_0x Hey Anna! Thank you for your message! :) As I see it, you want to create an invoice in multiple languages, am understanding you correctly? As it is now, to achieve this you would have to first generate the invoice in German, then update the invoice to English and generate and download it again. Not optimal but it's doable. This is however something we are looking into solving in the future. I can keep you posted about this feature if you are interested.

@abraxas_ I’d love that, thanks ^-^
