   0w0 it werks, can generate PDF directly from memory and open in a new tabnow just need to make it so it saves the invoice data to the db, and marks unbilled tasks as billed and all functionality will be finished. Then it's just data validation and cosmetic changes.

     @thor @hckr what can I say, shit happens. I don't take a larger lesson from that event. Everybody uses libraries in every language.

     @hckr it is really great that rarely do I ever have to implement a specific piece of functionality, there's almost always a library on NPM. Sometimes I have to download and hack it, but at least it's there.

     @hckr This is all in JavaScript, and I'm using a library called MakePDF that was very simple to use (of course I'm doing a simple layout though.)

     @Moon ahhh. I used some perl thing off cpan. Probably 10 years ago now, i was trying to flood my high school with some fake info requests via email out of spite. Probably spent 2-3 full days on it and still couldn't get it laid out to look realistic at all and gave up. I'm constantly impressed with the js ecosystem, as terrible as the language seems and looks, there's such an insanely large collection of productive libraries and tools.

     @hckr thanks, and it's good to see you!This is one of the few times I've set aside time to solve a personal technical problem. I just needed a very simple tool for generating invoices.
