#buildinpublic

Should I update the main product image on the Cakedesk website?

Not sure which one looks more appealing and gets the point across better 🤔

#buildinpublic

Coming soon: An overview screen for Cakedesk 😋

- Revenue over time
- Revenue per month & year
- Top clients
- Unpaid invoices

#buildinpublic

Trying out a new desktop background for Cakedesk screenshots.

Old vs. new

What do you guys think?

#buildinpublic

Built a little feedback widget for Cakedesk. Fastest way to send bug reports and feature requests!

#buildinpublic

I was working on this for the past 2 days but it's now a lot easier for me to add client languages to Cakedesk, so I hope to add a lot more in the future.

Let me know if you'd like to help with translating some strings to your native language 🤓

#buildinpublic

With the newest update for Cakedesk.app, you can now finally sort and indent/outdent items in invoices and proposals using drag and drop! ✨

Glad I finally got around to this, sorting was getting the MVP-treatment for too long!

#freelance #buildinpublic

A small interaction tweak I worked on tonight for Cakedesk.app.

I find that little things like this is what makes the UI of a product really get out of the user's way.

What little detail did you build for your project? 🤓

#buildinpublic

I made a small page showing off the various invoice and proposal templates that are included in Cakedesk.

🤓 Click on one to get a bit more information:

#webdesign #freelancers #buildinpublic

I've updated Cakedesk's landing page. It has a new design, shows more features, is available in English + German and includes a demo video.

👉 Check it out: cakedesk.app

#buildinpublic

Finally: You can now define custom fields for invoices and proposals in Cakedesk.app!

This enables things like:

- Titles for invoices
- "Reverse Charge" checkboxes
- Additional textboxes

👉 Read the docs: cakedesk.app/docs/templates…

#buildinpublic #freelancer

New on the Cakedesk website: There's now some basic documentation on how Cakedesk's templating system works! #buildinpublic

cakedesk.app/docs

Reworked the Template Details Screen of Cakedesk.app

#buildinpublic

Another small quality of life improvement for Cakedesk.app:

Hitting enter at the end of an input will insert an item below.

But hitting enter at the start of an input will insert an item above

#buildinpublic

Behind the scenes, these change logs are just markdown files – one for each language that Cakedesk supports.

#buildinpublic

Also new in Cakedesk.app: When you update the app, you will now see a change log with what's new!

I love change logs in my favorite apps and I'm hoping this will help users discover cool new features 🤓

#buildinpublic

I want Cakedesk.app to save freelancers as much time as possible.

That's why keyboard navigation is supported and encouraged throughout the app:

1. Navigate tables for clients, invoices and proposals using the keyboard (added this week)

#buildinpublic

Small UX improvement when writing freelance proposals using Cakedesk.app:

When focusing an item, the entire group now receives a slightly darker background, making it just a little bit easier for the eye to follow. 🤓
