Blinksale 2.0

2006 February 6 by Josh

Comment Icon 76 Comments

Blinksale Sneak Preview Image As much as I don't care for the "2.0" label, it is what it is, and is probably the most accurate description of the update our Blinksale invoicing service will receive in the near-term future. If you haven't had a chance to tryout Blinksale, you can sign-up for a free account today.

It should be noted that the new update will contain a good handful of wonderful (and quite powerful) new features in addition to a bit of a facelift. Current Blinksale subscribers should be thrilled with the improvements, and new subscribers will wonder why they weren't using Blinksale for their invoicing all along.

I wish we could show you more today, but that would spoil the fun. You'll have to wait just a little bit longer. We can't wait to get this one out the door.

Jared Christensen says

Thanks for the great app, I can't wait to see the changes. Hard to belive it could get eny better then it already is!

Pat Collins says

Blinksale has been a godsend. I can't wait to see the new features. Thanks for building such an elegant solution that just works.

Patrick Rhone says

Blinksale has made invoicing both easy and fun for me. Saves me time and, as we all know, time is money and my time is especially expensive. Well worth the few (tax deductible) dollars a month.

Alexis says

Good to hear you guys are working hard on blinksale. I'd like to see ways to add notes or attach txt files to time slips. I have certain bigger name clients who need my hours documented with much more detail than I can fill in a one line box. Awesome work so far.

Josh Williams says

Alexis... Hmm, sounds like something in the works. ;-) I think you'll be very happy.

Cameron says

When I click the sign up for a free account, I get a "this page is not available" message.

Colin Scroggins says

Josh, I am still looking for a way to do quotes and track invoice history (when I sent it, when I sent a reminder, etc.). I also think that 3 invoice types (service, time, and product) should be moved to being line item types, rather than invoice types. What if I want to bill for a service and product in the same invoice?

Josh Williams says

Cameron -- Link is fixed. Thanks.
Colin -- I think that you will also be very happy with the update. Very happy.

Jeff Miller says

I can't wait to see the new improvements. Keep up the great work!

Arthur Case says

I'd like to be able to set currency on a per invoice basis, yet also still set an overall preference for currency. Then I'd be able to view invoices in either the currency it was sent or my default currency and have Blinksale do the conversion. Probably hoping for too much now! Any improvements will be great - I love Blinksale already :)

Derick says

I certainly like the new features mentioned. Hopefully, there would be a way to add a "fixed" note so it always appear as a clause or line in all invoices. Say 'Please make check payable to Name Here'. Things like that. Roll it out, roll it out!

Nick Day says

Great - i'd love to be able to mix invoicing for time and services on the same invoice, which I don't *think* is possible at the moment.

A Bronze payment plan would be nice too, for students like me who semi-part-time freelance with their studies and don't send that many invoices per month, but have more than 3 clients allowed on the free plan.

And being able to subscribe by PayPal would be good too. :o)

Keep up the good work guys!

Nick

Nathan says

Thank you guys. I have been waiting for some of these features, believing that you guys were working on it. I cannot wait.

JT says

I would GREATLY like the ability to have a text field where I can type my specific Payment Terms. I beg, please add this feature.

Chad says

as a current subscriber - one feature is missing that I hope is in the new version. I need to put my GST number on each invoice, but right now the system doesn't allow for anything other than line items.

Josh Williams says

Chad -- will be done. You should be happy.

Bobby says

When is the 2.0 release date?

I also second JTs suggestion for a text field to allow users to type the payment terms (e.g. pay 1/2 now and the rest on delivery of product etc...)

Josh Williams says

Sorry, mums the word on the release date. It won't be this week, or next... but after that it could happen any time.

Zach Holman says

I must admit, recurring billing has me drooling. As does automated reminders, though I'm still eager to figure out what exactly that entails. If there's some way to set up a recurring monthly payment for my customers that automatically reminds them that payment is due a day or two before it's actually due... well, you would have made me one happy man. Heck, even if it's not a reminder that's a few days in advance, I will work with the recurring portion happily regardless.

You can't work fast enough in my opinion. ;)

Bobby Dragulescu says

I strongly second mixed invoicing. For every time billed invoice I send there are always material costs, gas, phone calls, etc.

Leslie says

Question, does blinksale sync with Quicken or QuickBooks, if not now…will the next release?

Thanks!

dru says

When, oh when will blinksale go 2.0?

Thomas says

This reminds me of that old Mervins commercial

"Open open open open open"

This reminds me of that old Mervins commercial where the women stand out side the door waiting for the store to open and everyone is saying.

"Open open open open open"

Rick says

Last night I had a wet dream about the release date of Blinksale 2.0.

Any time soon?

Fox says

I would like to see a facility whereby all outstanding debtors are automatically emailed or even the ability to email all outstanding debtors at the push of a key.

Shaun Andrews says

How bout an open API?

Joey says

How about an update on the update? It's getting awfully quiet in hear...

Blaine says

Looking forward to it, hope it's soon. Keep up the good work.

david says

all i can say is im glad to be using the system as is and if there are any mods to come i cant wait to use them.

just incase you guys are still in development, i want to throw my hat in the ring with Zach. automatic reminders and recurring billing would make this cake and a fool of anyone not using ;)

also i was just looking at my regular account and it would be cool for tax purposes or even just so i can stop using an excel file to documant this but if you could make it where i could see the total paid on each bill without having to actually look at the summary that would be great. even if it was an option on the front page that said. view totals and i could view all my individual client totals and then the total amount of all jobs i have done.

just as a quick reference so i dont have to manually go in and look at each one and add all that up would SWEET! I'd pay an extra couple dollars a month for that functionality for sure.

Chris Harrison says

Are we there yet? Are we there yet? ;)

Looking forward to 2.0... waiting anxiously in suspense for the updates to go live...

Todd says

i'd like the ability to have blinksale automatically give a strong, yet not lethal, electronic shock to all unpaid and pastdue clients everytime they touch their computer until their payment is received.

maybe that will have to wait until version 2.3.

Pozycjonowanie says

I strongly second mixed invoicing. For every time billed invoice I send there are always material costs, gas, phone calls, etc.

xanax says

The best way is to buy xanax online and read all the information available on different xanax websites. Go get it!
