Support draft states

Amazing work on this–current invoice offerings out there are either clunky/poorly designed or worry about doing entirely too much stuff.

It'd be great if invoicely automatically saved invoices in the background as you work to create them. I just lost nearly an hour of setup/work on an invoice due to a tab/page refresh. 🙌🏻

I agree. We can have chatgpt like logic where we dont save conversation. Similarly when user clicks on create invoice we first create an invoice with defaults and status to draft. Then redirect to it same as how we are doing for editing invoice.

@legions-developer For this feature, is it a good idea to create a new invoice on page load using useEffect and redirect user?

Atleast in dev environment useEffect is running twice creating duplicates. Will there be any issue on production?

I wanted to do this on server using server actions but indexDB is provided by browser.

Not sure how to implement this, any thoughts?
