October 2016 roundup
In October, we launched a ton of new features, including invoicing, auto-incrementing invoices, and business vacations. We also removed the credit card requirement on sign up.
For our Talking Shop series, we interviewed a design studio from Canada. And, on the Ask a Freelancer podcast, we discussed project management workflow and growing your solo business. Take a look!
New: Invoicing
We finally launched Invoicing for Cushion! You can now create, download, and track invoices with ease. If you were looking for an excuse to switch invoicing tools, this is your chance. We have a ton of smart features planned for invoicing, so keep an eye out for updates.
New: Auto-Incrementing Invoices
Along with the invoicing launch, we already started on releasing a number of new invoicing features, like auto-incrementing invoices. Instead of incrementing a single number, Cushion can now increment invoices based on client or project.
New: Business Vacations
On the scheduling front, we added the ability to specify whether a vacation is personal or business. Business vacations are for when you’re traveling but still working, and they won’t factor into your availability.
New: Sign Up Without a Credit Card
We also removed the credit card requirement for signup, so you can now try Cushion with no more than your email. Feel free to kick the tires and let us know what you think!

Talking Shop with a Moonlighting Studio
Read the latest interview in our Talking Shop series. We spoke with Collectif, a design studio from Canada. They discuss balancing full-time jobs with moonlighting at their own studio and how to teach clients how to give better feedback.
Spread The Word
Lastly, we’d love to see Cushion in the hands of more freelancers and small studios, so if you want to help, spread the word! Any mention of Cushion goes a long way and puts a big smile on our faces. :)
That’s all for October. Stay tuned for next month!
