PDF, Word, Excel — in milliseconds, on your machine. Stop renting a frontier model to write reportlab . TOKENS 0 with docgen 0.0ms Same prompt. Left is still pip-installing. Right already wrote the file. replay Ask Claude, Codex, Cursor, or Grok for a report and they do not reach for a compiler. They write a “small” Python script, miss a dependency, retry, and bill you for the whole show. That is not a feature. That is a tax. A free local document converter for the command line. No upload, no Python, no Chrome. One static binary on your PATH — or an MCP tool the agent can call instead of writing reportlab. The long version . Skip WeasyPrint, reportlab, and headless Chrome.

Hello HN, I’m Andrew from docs.dev (https://docs.dev/), an AI powered docs assistant. With docs.dev you can generate your docs directly from your codebase, existing docs and other context sources. We don’t believe AI will replace technical writers—our goal is to make it easier for teams to get a solid first draft that they can review, edit, and improve. Think of it as a head start, not a finished product. More info on what we’ve built below but we wanted to release a quick, 1 minute, generate docs from your codebase tool. Try it out here:…

Clipto MCP▲655Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
