Invoice Ninja

Simple, Intuitive Invoicing

https://www.invoiceninja.com

Introduction

Most online invoicing sites are expensive. They shouldn't be. The aim of this project is to provide a free, open-source alternative. Additionally, the hope is the codebase will serve as a sample site for Laravel as well as other JavaScript technologies.

This guide is the simplest way to setup the site. The high level instructions for setting up the site using Git are below but there's also a more detailed setup guide.

If you'd like to translate the site please use caouecs/Laravel4-long for the starter files.
