Hey, hey you,

0:13.0

We're doing,

0:17.0

Hello, Redskirts.

0:20.0

Hey, hey you, shopping in maniac. What are you doing, buddy? Come here, I'll give you a scitch. I'll give you a little scritch. I'll get me a little scritch, yeah, get you a little scritch. Yeah, I'm going to go to there. It's a shoptime show. I'm doing, but I'm doing it's Chris Clare. Hey, Chris, how you doing? I'm doing pretty good. I feel like now that, you know, we have such

0:38.0

fans. Oh, God, I love you. We all love each other, right? Dedicated fans. I feel like we should

0:43.9

sell you something. Don't you think? Like we should have shirts or expensive subscriptions or

0:50.3

something? No, just kidding. Buy my Gundums.. Buy my old gondoms. You want a limited edition, Dave Rupert and Chris Coyer at Gundam? Yeah, let me know. I'll fire off the 3D You do? Will you make it like an orange and black one? Oh, that would be awesome. Cool, huh? Yeah. Limited edition. Yeah. You know what? I forgot to do it. Well, whatever. I will sell you on something because we actually have a sponsor.

1:12.8

This is the last sponsor spot for them, StudioWorks.

1:16.4

And it's like the nicest app.

1:19.3

I'm now officially using it for all of my invoicing.

1:23.2

Yeah.

1:23.5

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

1:25.1

So now I'm into it.

1:26.2

But I remember setting it up because, you know, we had Chris and Jessica on the show and they told us of it. That was a couple episodes ago. They're awesome. But they really do have a dream team working on the app and they sweated the details. Like you would expect that they would, right? Can you imagine people like this having like a bad web app? No, of course not. It's amazing. They

1:44.3

sweat at every detail down from the business. But what's important and it matters is like if

1:49.4

you send any invoices, like even a couple of year, I still think it's worth doing. You sign up,

1:54.4

you get like a subdomain, which I think is kind of fun. I don't know. I like apps with subdomains.

1:58.6

Anyway, so I'm like my old school one is like Midwest Coast Studios. That's my official LLC name. Maybe you didn't know that about me. So now I have that as my business thing. And it takes about two seconds to be like, I want this theme. You drag and drop your logo on there. You say, oh, I'm invoicing for this and it's this much money and

2:18.3

whatever. You don't even need to do anything after that. You just hit send and it just blasts off to their email or whatever. And it's easy. But then it's like you have a record of it happening and you can mark it as paid. Even the client can market as paid, which is unusual, but you can listen to the show to see what a cool idea that is.

2:34.3

Or you can hook it up to Stripe

2:35.9

and they take nothing, 0% of the total invoice, and they, you know, it just comes to you. It comes into your Stripe account. It doesn't like go into theirs and then they pay you later or some weird crap like that. It's just like, no, it's a web app that it's like if you designed your own invoicing app, you'd hook up your stripe to it, right? That's how they do it. Anyway, it's pretty good. So they're like a proxy, like just a little, like a little UI layer for your business into stripe. You know what I meant was a pain in the butt is getting the print style sheet, right?

3:09.1

Because they mix PDFs, you know, of the invoices.
