I started with a project I've always found useful: an invoice generator.</p> <p><a href="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fyziymolfcvqzo4g8if3n.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"><img src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fyziymolfcvqzo4g8if3n.png" alt="Invoice Generator Screenshot" width="800" height="447"></a></p> <p>At the moment, this is what my invoice generator looks like.

Stay tuned for more insights as I develop this tool and maybe take on more personal projects in the future!</p> devjournal productivity
