Hundred Docs

Hey HN, I’m Carlos, dev & designer behind Hundred Docs. Here’s the deal: I’ve spent way too many days fighting PDFs in production. Two things drove me crazy: 1. Most doc tools give total freedom → anyone can make a layout disaster + UX is terrible. 2. PDF libraries are a nightmare to integrate So I hacked something that actually works: - You describe the doc in plain English - AI turns it into an editable template - Non-tech folks can tweak it visually - Devs just POST JSON to an API → get a professional PDF back Would love to hear what you think about the product idea and your experience…

Hundred Docs launched on December 26, 2025 with 17 votes, #620 of 11,628 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches.

What it does

Design complex document templates with AI (chat → template). Anyone can edit them visually, no code required. Developers only send data to the API to generate PDFs. Non-technical teams control layouts, and developers avoid heavy libraries and painful integrations.

Simple interface to design complex document layouts with guided controls and AI. Generate professional PDFs at scale through our cloud API. Perfect for invoices, reports, certificates, and contracts.

Hundred Docs combines a simple editor to design professional templates & an API to fill them automatically. { "name": "John Doe", "amount": "$1,200" } API Request Editable Document Template Optimized PDFs at Scale Describe it. We create it. AI turns your request into a clean, editable template in seconds. No layout headaches. Just send your data and get pixel-perfect PDFs. No dependencies needed. Create your first template and start generating PDFs instantly. From 1 to 1 million PDFs per month. Our cloud infrastructure scales automatically with your needs. Cloud-native architecture with 99.9% uptime. Your documents are always generated onfrom hundredocs.com

    Hi HN, I’m Steve, co-founder of doXmind. We built doXmind for people who want docs and AI, but not all of Notion. Notion is powerful, but if your main use case is writing, collaboration, and AI help inside documents, it can feel like more than you actually need. You end up inside a much bigger workspace of databases, templates, and project management features, when sometimes all you really want is a clean doc editor with strong AI built in. So we took a different approach. In doXmind, AI works directly in the document instead of living in a sidebar chat. It reads the structure of what you’re…

    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:…

    Hi HN, I'm Michał. I posted PDFBolt here about a year ago as a basic HTML to PDF API. Since then I've been rebuilding it around the thing that kept bugging me: every time a designer tweaked a layout, it meant a code change, a deploy, and a prayer that nothing broke in production. I wanted templates that live on the server and version themselves, so my API calls stay the same when the layout changes. Try the editor, no sign-up. Open a sample report, change the data, and download a real PDF: https://pdfbolt.com/try Templates use Handlebars. Your API call sends a templateId +…

  • Community, All the HN belong to you. This is an archive of hacker news that fits in your browser. When I made HN Made of Primes I realized I could probably do this offline sqlite/wasm thing with the whole GBs of archive. The whole dataset. So I tried it, and this is it. Have Hacker News on your device. Go to this repo (https://github.com/DOSAYGO-STUDIO/HackerBook): you can download it. Big Query -> ETL -> npx serve docs - that's it. 20 years of HN arguments and beauty, can be yours forever. So they'll never die. Ever. It's the unkillable static archive of HN and it's…
