Billing software shouldn't be a black box.
Over the past few months, I've been building something in the open, and I'd love to share it with this group.
QuantumBilling
An open-source billing app for Indian businesses:
- GST invoices & templates
- Credit/debit notes
- E-way bills
- Recurring billing & payment links
- Reports & compliance reminders
- Tech stack:* Elixir, Phoenix LiveView, PostgreSQL, Oban
- A small fact worth knowing*
WhatsApp, the app you're reading this on, runs on *Erlang*. One WhatsApp server handled 2 million connections.
Discord runs on *Elixir* and handles *12 million+ users at once* with a team of just *5 engineers*.
Both run on the same engine, the BEAM. Its secret:
- Millions of tiny isolated processes
- If one crashes, it restarts automatically and nothing else breaks
QuantumBilling is built on that same engine.
Areas open for contribution
- E-invoice & e-way bill integrations
- HSN code finder
- UI improvements in LiveView
- Tests & docs
- GST domain knowledge from CAs and tax professionals
If you've been curious about Elixir, this could be a good real-world project to explore.
