🧾 InvoicePedia — From Plan to Progress

“I had a vision. Then I sat down and built it.”

A while back, I shared a blog post about InvoicePedia, my full-stack invoice management project. In that post, I laid out some next steps I wanted to tackle to take the project to the next level. The plan was ambitious, but I was excited to make it real.

📅 Previously Planned Next Steps

Here's what I said I wanted to work on:

• ✅ Improve UI/UX with better layout and styling
• ✅ Add PDF download/export for invoices
• 🔄 Enable recurring invoice creation
• 🔄 Build a better dashboard and analytics
• ✅ Fix deployment and ship a live demo 🚀

💪 What I Actually Delivered

And here’s what I’ve successfully shipped so far:

🎨 Improved UI/UX

I gave the entire app a fresh, modern look using Tailwind CSS and shadcn/ui components. The layout is now clean, responsive, and feels professional.

🌐 Live Demo is Live!

I fixed all deployment issues and deployed the app on Vercel. It’s now available for anyone to try out:
