Good design!
Maker
Thanks! :)
I like the design! Are you planning to monetize it somehow?
Maker
Thanks! I got this quite a lot but haven't really thought much about it. Just focusing on the next release at the moment. I'm curious what you have in mind :)
tried it, I like it, will use for sending quotations to my clients after that's implemented. Was thinking about some notification to donate or something like that after 10 invoices or so. What do you think?
Maker
Hey, sorry I missed this. I'm not really sure about this idea because it reminds me of the rating popups in iOS. And to be honest, if I were the user I wouldn't like it very much haha. But donation is a great idea. I've seen a lot of people do it on their GitHub repos. Thanks for the suggestion! :) Btw, I answered your questions on GitHub, hope that helps!
Yeah, the least you can do is adding a button on a Github repo. I would also add some smooth notification on top of the window reminding users to donate if they regularly use it.
Maker
Thanks for the suggestion. I appreciate it. Will setup the donate button now :)
Love the fact that you're using the product to raise awareness about a social cause. Looking forward to the paid version when it's out!
Maker
Thanks, Michael. I’m actually thinking about doing a write up about this as the benefits are multifold. It made me feel good about myself and may also help activists like OPS as well. Manta is a magical creature, I ended up with a perfect name and logo/icon for the app. So everyone wins! I really hope this could become a trend for developers.
I agree with you 100%. I want to do something similar for my next project.
Maker
Awesome! Maybe this can help us solve the second hardest thing in Computer Science (naming things) once and for all? ;)
Great idea, thanks for making this! +1 that it's open source
Maker
Thanks! Hope you found it useful! :)
love the design!
Maker
Thanks! I’m glad you like it. Have you tried the app yet? Would love to know which could be improved! :)
A good service, with what the future will be integration ?
Maker
hey Shannon, thanks for asking. I’m thinking about integrating Stripe for handling payment at the moment. Any suggestion?
I love this app, thanks to the developers )
Maker
Hey Tom. Thanks for the kind words. If you could spread the words that would be great! :)
Beautiful! Just send it to my SO for her to use for her personal practice. Thanks for making it free. 🙏
Maker
That's awesome Chris! Would love to know what she thinks :)
I would like to see the option of creating an estimate first which than can be converted to an invoice later.
Maker
Hey thanks for the idea. It's actually been discussed here already: .
Very nice indeed, keep in dock checked! Thank you
Maker
Thanks, Steven. I'm glad you found Manta useful. Would love to know more about your thoughts. Any ideas/suggestions for improving the app? :)
will do!
