What is Invoice Ninja?
Invoice Ninja's feed is a freelancer advice blog with no trace of the software
Invoice Ninja is open-source invoicing software, but this feed carries none of it. Every entry is a freelancer advice post — raising your rates, project management tips, what clients look for, what to ask for — published monthly and truncated to a WordPress excerpt. No version, release or feature appears anywhere in the capture, and the product's actual development happens somewhere this source does not reach.
What is TaxDome?
TaxDome Pipelines now remember your filters, and long task names stop getting cut off.
TaxDome's 11 November updates fix two daily irritations: Pipelines keep filters such as job assignee across pipelines, page changes and the next day in the same browser, and the name column in Tasks and Jobs can be widened and remembers its width. Earlier in the month came a Tax Summary that handles checks, payment plans and refund tracking, task grouping by assignee and search across Firm Templates.

◆ Current state
Invoice Ninja is open-source invoicing software, but this feed carries none of it. Every entry is a freelancer advice post — raising your rates, project management tips, what clients look for, what to ask for — published monthly and truncated to a WordPress excerpt. No version, release or feature appears anywhere in the capture, and the product's actual development happens somewhere this source does not reach.
◆ Where it's heading
The content strategy is consistent and unchanging: monthly posts aimed at solo freelancers deciding how to run their business, with the product implicit rather than mentioned. That tells you who Invoice Ninja is selling to and nothing about what it is building. Cadence has been steady at roughly one post a month for over a year.
◆ Prediction
Expect the monthly freelancer-advice cadence to continue unchanged. Anything about the software itself will have to come from its releases, which this feed does not carry.
TaxDome
5.0FINANCE
TaxDome Pipelines now remember your filters, and long task names stop getting cut off.
◆ Current state
TaxDome's 11 November updates fix two daily irritations: Pipelines keep filters such as job assignee across pipelines, page changes and the next day in the same browser, and the name column in Tasks and Jobs can be widened and remembers its width. Earlier in the month came a Tax Summary that handles checks, payment plans and refund tracking, task grouping by assignee and search across Firm Templates.
◆ Where it's heading
After the October push on firm-wide visibility (Work Forecaster, grouping jobs by pipeline), TaxDome is now on smaller workflow fixes that save clicks for staff who live in Jobs, Tasks and Pipelines. The cadence is several small releases a week.
◆ Prediction
More small list and filter fixes are likely, since TaxDome is openly asking users which interface details slow them down. Filters stored only per browser suggest saved filters synced across devices could follow.
