What is InvoiceShelf?
InvoiceShelf 3.0 alphas add bills and suppliers, moving it from invoicing into payables.
Five InvoiceShelf 3.0 alphas shipped in five days. alpha.11 added purchasing (suppliers, bills, supplier credits, payments and refunds) and patched two unauthenticated PHP remote code execution flaws in the Docker image. Later alphas added module API 1.4 with bundled dependencies, EN 16931 e-invoicing with ZUGFeRD / Factur-X hybrid PDFs, a notification bell with automatic payment reminders, and an iOS app headed for TestFlight.
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
Five InvoiceShelf 3.0 alphas shipped in five days. alpha.11 added purchasing (suppliers, bills, supplier credits, payments and refunds) and patched two unauthenticated PHP remote code execution flaws in the Docker image. Later alphas added module API 1.4 with bundled dependencies, EN 16931 e-invoicing with ZUGFeRD / Factur-X hybrid PDFs, a notification bell with automatic payment reminders, and an iOS app headed for TestFlight.
◆ Where it's heading
3.0 is turning InvoiceShelf from an invoice generator into a small-business accounting app: payables next to receivables, EU-compliant e-invoices, a module ecosystem, and native mobile apps. The pace suggests the team is finishing features before a beta rather than stabilizing.
◆ Prediction
Expect more alphas filling in accounting pieces and modules built on API 1.4/1.5, with the iOS app appearing on TestFlight; the entries don't show a beta date.
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.
