• We built Timen for teams that need simple time tracking without the usual admin

  Today we’re introducing Timen https://www.gettimen.com , our new time tracking tool for teams. We built it because too many teams still have to force a simple workflow through software that adds cleanup loops, extra admin, or a monitoring-heavy feel. https://preview.redd.it/31jq4kh8iitg1.jpg?width=1 https://www.reddit.com/r/breezepm/comments/1sdqt35/we_built_timen_for_teams_that_need_simple_time/

• I made an RMM tool with AI that works autonomously

• License is too restrictive

  Hi there, This software looks really great. I’m looking at self-hosted invoice systems and this one is fantastic. That said, I am afraid the license is too restrictive. I have no desire to rip off invoiceninja’s business, and I appreciate the many hours that have been put into it programming it. Bu https://github.com/invoiceninja/invoiceninja/issues/1052

  It would be great to have a LDAP Authentication module. This will help the “self hosting community” to have a SSO within their environment. https://github.com/invoiceninja/invoiceninja/issues/1768

• [Feature-Request] Compliance with German law for invoicing systems

  Hi everyone. Just to make sure: What follows is no legal advice, but my personal opinion based on legal advice I have received myself.

I talked to my IT lawyer and we both agree that invoiceninja can’t be legally used for invoicing in Germany as it is right now.
