Show HN: MuffInvoice – fast, free, no-signup needed invoice maker
https://app.withpartly.com/labs/muffinvoice/
Hi folks - this past week I made a free invoice maker, as I was frustrated with all the other ones out there (most of them required sign up just to generate a PDF, or were too ugly). Happy to get any feedback / thoughts / ideas to improve the product!You do have to sign up in order to connect stripe to the invoice (I couldn't figure out how to pay you otherwise).Also, just want to say - HN has...
* Webflow (in case the client needs something relatively unsophisticated)
* Django / HTMX / AlpineJS / Django Ninja (in case the client needs a full CRUD application with more powerful capabilities).
I also want to shamelessly plug - if you are looking to do freelance or contract work, and you want an easy way to manage the contract, engagements, milestones, and invoices, consider using withpartly.com.
I'm the founder and CEO, and looking for freelancers / contractors to play around with the alpha product (for free).
How much should you be charging as a consultant?
I'm creating software to make it easy for freelancers to manage their engagements, get paid, and handle all of the pieces of paper involved in that (NDA, IP assignment, etc). As part of that, I'm working with companies looking to hire contractors, specifically software engineers.
If you're looking to work with Series A / B companies as a software engineer for at least 10 hours a week (either in contract to hire or in permanent freelancer setups), please reach out! The main cost to you is you'll have to use my software and give me feedback on it. Thanks!

Why is it so hard to measure productivity?
While CRISPR is often used in cultured cells (eg for CAR T therapies) there are CRISPR therapeutics in live human patients today in phase 3 trials for sickle cell disease (among other indications).
The evidence behind 4 day work weeks
This is an underrated comment. These are good threads to pull on in future posts - thanks.
Thanks for this comment - I think the economic point is spot on. I think the fear of losing control is a fair summary - unfortunately there is some evidence of a selection effect that might mean employers do have something to fear. https://www.fractional.work/p/showing-face-is-more-important...
Is remote work bad for the economy?
How the workweek changed in the early 20th century
Do hybrid employees work more than fully in-person ones?
Showing face is more important than getting things done

To the Synth team, awesome product! Great to see that more tools are getting built to help testing / QA workflows. I think this a huge area for the future. Welcome to the competition. :)

My initial guess would've been dynamic programming (levenstein distance), but if this is API-wide, did you make a suffix tree?
