Building Invomly in public

Invomly started from a narrow observation: most invoicing tools are built for a US/UK audience, and French freelancers (auto-entrepreneurs, micro-entreprises) end up fighting the tool to produce a compliant invoice. That's a small, well-defined problem — which made it a good first project to vibe code end to end.

What was easy

Scaffolding the app, the CRUD around clients/invoices, and the UI shell all came together fast. This is exactly the kind of work AI-assisted development compresses the most — well-understood patterns with clear inputs and outputs.

What took real thought

The French invoicing rules themselves, and the actual product decisions — what a freelancer needs to see on day one versus what can wait. No amount of AI assistance replaces knowing your user.

What's next

Onboarding early users, watching where they get stuck, and writing about what changes as a result.
