Author here. I'm a software engineer who started writing hard science fiction on the side. I built this tool because I wanted to write in plain Markdown and go straight to Amazon KDP without touching Word, InDesign, or Vellum. The workflow: I write stories in .md files, one heading per chapter, --- for scene breaks. When I'm ready to publish, I run one command and get a paperback PDF, hardcover PDF, and Kindle EPUB with correct margins, typography, and scene breaks. The tool wraps Pandoc and XeLaTeX with a custom LaTeX template and a Lua filter that handles the scene break conversion.…

I’ve built a tool that allows you to convert any web content into an ebook with just a few clicks. The idea came from my need to frequently save articles or web pages as ebooks for offline reading and sharing. However, I found existing tools either too complex or lacking flexibility, so I decided to create something simpler, faster, and that supports both EPUB and PDF formats. Key Features: - Quick Conversion: Input a list of URLs, with each URL treated as a chapter, and the tool will automatically generate an ebook in either EPUB or PDF format. - Content Optimization: It automatically…

If you’ve generated PDFs from HTML, you’ll know the pain: headless Chrome in Docker, CSS hacks, content that flows over pages or table boundaries and other quality issues. The fundamental problem is that HTML was designed for screens, not print. We built Press, a markup-based document language where pages, content flows, and assets are first-class concepts. Content can flow across frames, columns, and pages without manual pagination. Pages are created dynamically based on the available content. Press templates separate layout from content. You can send markdown, Press markup, or a mixture of…

Hey HN I built MarkdownConverters.com — a tool that converts any file format (PDF, DOCX, PPTX, HTML, or URL) into clean, structured Markdown. I often needed to prep documents, reports, or scraped pages for AI pipelines, documentation, or version control, but existing tools either broke formatting, lost code blocks, or produced unreadable Markdown. So I built something that focuses on: • Accurate structure (headings, lists, tables, code, links) • Consistent Markdown output ready for LLMs or docs • Fast, browser-based conversion with privacy-friendly processing • Support for multi-format and…

Hi everyone! I built this tool because I couldn't find a simpler solution to my problem (publish a markdown file and make it available online so other people can see). I hope you'll find it useful too! Currently, what it does is only publish a markdown file, but I'm thinking of adding features like styling, custom URL, password-protected link, etc. But I don't know whether people would find it useful. Let me know what you think!
