What it does
Why HelloPDF? We created HelloPDF because we needed a simple API to generate PDF's from URL's on the fly, we didn't want to pay $30+ a month to generate documents. Our platform was built with developers in-mind to simplify pdf generation.
Easily convert invoices, statements, or any other page from HTML to a PDF with a single click or API call.
HelloPDF runs a very fast and powerful network allowing you to generate PDF's within seconds. We're powered by Chrome, our PDF's look exactly as they do in the browser. Elements remain where they should be, no misplacements. It's easy to implement HelloPDF, you can generate PDF's with a single API call, no need for long lines of code.. Generate website previews on different devices and viewports using our URL to PDF feature. We give you full control over how the page and browser function. Our core feature is web (html and url) to PDF's, no hacks, no jokes. Our competitors take screenshots of your word documents, spreadsheets, webpages, etc and paste it into a PDF. We generate real…from hellopdf.co

This API will allow a dev to just send the HTML to our API and get a PDF in response without having to worry about running and managing Chrome somewhere in their infra. I just finished the first version of my landing page and hosted pdf generation API…

Talanoa▲341Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
