On you site it says "Free Invoice Generator does not store any of your data online. Instead, all of your settings are saved to your browser through the LocalStorage mechanism. Clicking the above button will delete the data that Free Invoice Generator has saved to your computer so far."

Maybe I have a poor understanding of the logistics but on reading that I have the impression that my data never leaves my browser. If so, how are you generating the PDFs server-side which are populated with my data?

This looks great and my question isn't a complaint. If you store user's browser data for 10 minutes or so, then you should probably change the wording in your claim to reflect this. And if you can generate a PDF server-side which somehow adds user data without leaving my browser's local storage I'd be most interested in learning how that works as it sounds almost magical.

You're right, I've updated the message to reflect that fact. Thanks for pointing that out!

Cool, though I'm almost disappointed now. I was hoping you had figured out some hack to use the browser's 'print to file' functionality, omitting the sidebar and printing only the invoice part of the web page.

that can be done with a print-only stylesheet. display: none for the sidebar
