As a solo founder building BizSuit, I realized something early — managing finances isn’t just about generating invoices. It’s about accountability, ownership, and security.
That’s why I built InvoiceMint, a blockchain-inspired invoicing tool with a clean UI, Python backend, and printable output — all working together to help you run your solo business like a pro.
? What is InvoiceMint?
InvoiceMint is a web app that lets you:
- Create professional, printable invoices
- Securely store each invoice in a blockchain-style ledger
- Run everything using a lightweight Python + Flask backend
- Style everything with beautiful, responsive Bulma CSS
All with one goal in mind: speed and transparency.
? The Core Stack
Here’s what powers InvoiceMint under the hood:
| Layer | Tech Used | Why It’s Used |
|---|---|---|
| Frontend | Bulma CSS | Clean, responsive UI without JS bloat |
| Backend | Python + Flask | Lightweight API for invoice management |
| Database | Blockchain (in memory) | Every invoice is stored as a chained block |
| Hosting | Render.com | Easy Flask hosting with free tier |
| Print Ready | print CSS | Instant printable invoice support |
Each invoice you generate becomes a new block in the ledger. Here's what each block contains:
- Invoice data (client, amount, etc.)
- Timestamp
- Hash of the previous block
- Unique block hash
This means:
- No invoice can be altered once added
- A complete tamper-proof history is maintained
- All logic is handled inside a pure Python blockchain module
This is not cryptocurrency — it’s real-world use of blockchain structure for accountability.
? The Interface: Bulma for Speed
The frontend uses , a CSS framework that’s:
- Mobile-first
- Flexbox-based
- Fast and beautiful out of the box
This gives InvoiceMint a modern, polished UI — even when run on mobile browsers or low-power devices.
? Features
Enter client name, service, and amount — hit print.
Styled using print CSS to give you clean hard copies.
Every invoice is stored in a secure chain.
Modular, extensible, and deployable in minutes.
All records are stored in memory (or file), easy to port to SQLite or MongoDB.
Built originally on an Android tablet — now going full-scale.
? My Journey as a Solo Founder
I’m a 16-year-old founder, building BizSuit — a modular toolkit for entrepreneurs. I started with BizTracker (inventory app), and InvoiceMint became my second tool.
And now, I’m excited to say — I’ll be buying my first full laptop this Diwali ?
That means even more advanced tools are coming:
- ? PDF export
- ? Login/Auth
- ? Real-time charts
- ? Invoice saving & sharing
Integration with Umami analytics and BizTracker
?
No signup. No download. Just open and start printing.
? Final Thoughts
InvoiceMint combines modern frontend simplicity with the security of blockchain and the power of Python. It’s part of a larger vision — BizSuit — a free, open toolkit for founders who build alone but think big.
Whether you're invoicing your first freelance client or managing recurring bills, InvoiceMint ensures every transaction is professional, transparent, and future-ready.
