on various projects, it’s now ready for the future (and it looks bright!).

In our previous post we checked free online invoicing tools, wich are hosted on others servers, so you dont have to deal with hosting yourself.
Now, lets check open source invoicing systems, wich you can put on your pc or server. To do this, you either have to have knowledge or you pay someone to do it for you. This is clearly disandvantage, but there are also some good things in this:
- You are in control. It sits on your server. Its your data.
- You never need to trust your invoicing data to anyone else, and you can get it out of the system easily.
- Its Open source – its your code!
- If you dont like something, you can change it :)

If you run a small business or do any freelancing like me, you need a convenient way to send invoices to clients. Sure, you can keep track of all customer information in a spreadsheet, but you can also use an online invoicing tool.
While there is loads of online invoincing tools out there, most of them are not free. They offer a professional commercial invoicing system, but impose strict limitations on their free offering. Such limitations usually manifest themselves in the number of invoices you can send each month, or in the number of clients you can manage, or some other thing. While this is good to try the product before buying, its unusable for serious work.
So if you want to save some bucks, here are some best free online invoincing tools:

Spacegallery is a Javascript image gallery with a jQuery plugin. After setting parameters, images are animated with perspective style. When you click the front image, it fades in a smooth animation and is replaced with the next image. Although designed with one way navigation, it is a cool gallery when only a limited number of images need showcased. For shure its something special, usable for some specific things, but i miss some more features…
