LiveDesktop invoicing and business management for the Nachi3D workshop.
About this project
Overview
A full desktop invoicing app for my own fabrication business — Nachi3D. It covers the full billing workflow: creating quotes and invoices from a product catalogue with cost estimations, tracking payment status, exporting accounting data to Excel for the annual tax declaration, and generating branded PDFs with ICE/SIRET fiscal identifiers depending on whether the client is Moroccan or French.
There's also a competitor benchmarking tool that generates mystery-shopping inquiry emails to local 3D printing studios, tracks their prices, and auto-generates price justification arguments when clients push back.
All data lives in JSON files on disk, synced to OneDrive or Google Drive through the OS. No backend, no SaaS subscription, no cloud database. The app is packaged as a Windows .exe via Electron with GitHub Actions auto-building on every push to main.

What I'd do differently
In hindsight
I'd separate the data layer from the start instead of bolting on the Electron IPC bridge halfway through. The dual-mode api.js that detects Electron vs browser caused hard-to-debug production-only bugs. I'd also start with chunk splitting in Vite from day one.
