True. Good tagging and multi-account setups help a lot.
IndieDesk is more about having costs, payments and project activity in the same place.
Yep, that’s exactly the kind of situation I built IndieDesk for.
When costs are scattered across tools, it’s way too easy to mix them up.
New feature on IndieDesk
Just add your GitHub repo link to the project and you get:
Commit heatmap for the last 12 months
Recent commits list with author, date and linked SHA
Repo info: stars, forks, default branch
Lazy loaded, zero performance impact.

🆕 IndieDesk v1.0.6 released
Updated dashboard:

→ Statistics PDF — typography aligned with the invoice PDF

Built a small open-source map app to explore neighborhoods like a local — food, coffee, coworking, transit, all from OpenStreetMap data.
Stack: Laravel + Vue 3 + Leaflet.

When multiple products start appearing around the same problem, it's usually a good sign.
It means the problem is real.
This is the problem that made me build IndieDesk.
A project-first workspace to track projects, costs and revenue in one place.

When you're a freelance developer working on multiple projects, spreadsheets work… until they don't.
Once you have 3–4 active projects you start losing track of:
– costs
– payments
– which project actually made money
smart map for slow travelers.
Search any city, toggle layers (food, coffee, coworking...), save your spots.
built with laravel + vue + openstreetmap data

Update on the budgeting app: NativePHP looks promising, but it’s driving me a bit crazy 😂. Maybe I'll keep Laravel for the backend, but for the frontend I’d like to try SwiftUI since I use Apple devices and it could be a good opportunity to learn something new.
Will see

That makes sense, especially for a web-first or SaaS approach.
Experimenting with NativePHP to build a mobile app with Laravel.
Starting with a focused budgeting app to leverage the stack I already use.
First build already running.
#Laravel #NativePHP #BuildInPublic
Tired of spreadsheets and Notion.
So I built IndieDesk.
A self-hosted Laravel workspace
for developers who prefer owning their stack.

Managing multiple Linux servers got tedious, so I automated the boring parts.
Made a collection of bash scripts for Debian/Ubuntu + LAMP/LEMP stacks:

Today no new features on IndieDesk.
I’m improving documentation by clarifying patterns, modules and structure, because good docs are what make a product truly usable.

I just shipped AI Project Assistant (v1) inside IndieDesk.
Project-aware chat, per-project settings & API keys, clean UI, and saved history, all in one place.
Fewer tabs, more focus.

Over the weekend, I attempted to get Laravel Boost working while developing Laravel packages. This morning, I wrote a blog post about my workaround.

Cleaning up duplicated queries in IndieDesk.
Same data fetched multiple times, now just once.
Small fix, better performance.
#buildinpublic #laravel #devtools #indiedev #debugging
I automated invoice draft generation on IndieDesk.
Client data comes from the DB, my business info from the Company settings (VAT, logo, etc).
One click and the document is ready to send.
Get paid → issue the real electronic invoice.
