NeoInvoice by Thomas Hunter
I started building NeoInvoice in 2010. It was hosted at www.neoinvoice.com. The plan was to maybe one day make money from it, but I never really advertised or monetized the app. Two years later, after never making a dime and paying about over $1,000 in hosting costs, I finally realized it was costing more money than it was making me, so I shut down the app and open sourced it.

Estos cinco archivos son necesarios para la administracion del servidor. There shouldn't be much upkeep required, however. It takes care of itself pretty well.
What Sucks?
A lot sucks. I'll start making some tickets for all of the things I'm aware of which is broken (if there is interest for anyone to fix the issues). I probably won't be doing much development myself, but I don't mind facilitating a bunch of pull requests.
Git History
I was keeping track of the entire history of the project, and had near 400 commits, but while doing some git history changing operations to remove sensitive data, bad things started to happen. So, I flattened the repo and started from scratch. Most of these files are 1 to 2 years old.
License
This application is released under a dual GPL/BSD license. You can use whichever one you would prefer. This app makes use of several open source technologies, and they all have their own licenses, and are of course not bound to the overall NeoInvoice license. These projects usually have a LICENSE and README file in their directory.
