So lets get cooking, in the Kitchen
November 5, 2011 - 11:03am
There is a new client area we're calling The Kitchen. This is where your clients can view all of their invoices, estimates, projects, tasks and proposals, as well as communicate with you on everything. The first thing you'll need to do is set some items to be viewable in the Kitchen. For invoices, when you're creating or editing invoices and estimates, you can toggle 'Show in client area?'. For projects and tasks, there is an 'Is Viewable?' checkbox. As for proposals,…

Predefined line items to make your life easier
August 18, 2011 - 1:21am
Often we find ourselves billing for the same task over and over, over and over, over and… well you know what I’m talking about. Its boring, repetitious and opens you up to making mistakes such as billing at the wrong rate. That sucks.
So as of release 3.1.7 you can create as many predefined items as you would like and be able to access them during invoice/estimate creation. It’s super simple and really easy to use, let me show you.
Pancake Overview Video
August 17, 2011 - 1:05am
Our British "bloke" Phil decided that he would love to create a video demonstrating a little bit of what Pancake has to offer. He put together this short-ish (11 minute) video briefly giving you an overview of how things work in Pancake and what you can do with it. Though the video was created but a few days ago it is already slightly out of date as we've added in many features since then. Don't worry though, Pancake comes with an auto-updater that keeps your install up to date!
Everything is automatic!

Listening to some Matthew Good with no internet inspired me to write about all the things in Pancake that are automatic, then I realized that would be a rather long post.…
Pancake gets a life of its own!
August 9, 2011 - 5:10am
Today we were going to write an article about the brilliant new 3.1.0 coming out, but now we’re on v3.1.3. What is happening? Awesome stuff is happening.
Back in the v1.x days you would have to manually update all the files and go through an upgrade wizard to update your database. In v2.x we implemented “Migrations” so your database would automatically be updated when your files were upgraded. This made it easier, but still a little too time consuming. Now in v3.1 we have made this…
Our stack just got loads bigger

It’s finally here, the biggest and most awesome version of Pancake to be released to date: v3.0! Unlike the last few updates which have been mainly bug fixes and small new features, we’ve really gone to town with your suggestions and added in a huge array of new features which not only make Pancake more useful but put it ahead of a few big players feature-wise.
So what is so great about v3.0?
