Zelos invoice - die Personifikation des eifrigen Strebens

Zelos is a open-source invoice app for software engineers who want control over their generated PDFs, have a nice overview and see beautiful graphical charts. It shows the yearly income, keeps track of customers and don't mix things up like I did before when using proprietary software. Experienced developers can continue on the project and customize it to their own needs.

Time-zone support

Chartkick together with groupdate requires time-zone support Run this statements in SQL console https://gist.githubusercontent.com/ankane/1d6b0022173186accbf0/raw/time_zone_support.sql and this SELECT CONVERT_TZ(NOW(), '+00:00', 'Etc/UTC'); should return the time instead of NULL

https://github.com/ankane/groupdate#for-mysql

Otherwise remove groupdate from gemfile and remove the group_by_month function from entries/index
