SimpleLance

A simple customer management / invoicing / project tracking tool built for freelancers.

Invoices can be paid within SimpleLance using stripe.

Note that projects can only be added by admin at present, this may change if demand calls for it.

There is also currently no support for alerts for tickets, projects or invoices and also invoices are not automatically updated when past due. This is all to come in future release.

2 Accounts exist, 1 admin and 1 customer.

admin - email = admin@admin.com / password = simplelance
customer - email = user@user.com / password = simplelance

Development is ongoing and updates will be released as regular as possible.

Contributing:

We welcome and love contributions! To facilitate receiving updates to SimpleLance, we encourage you to create a new personal branch after you fork this repository. This branch should be used for content and changes that are specific to your event. However, anything you are willing to push back should be updated in your master branch. This will help keep the master branch generic for future event organizers that choose to use the system. You would then be able to merge master to your private branch and get updates when desired!
