    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 +…

    ThePDFApi, a Chrome Based PDF Generation API Hosted on AWS2018 · ▲41

    Hello HN! It kept surprising me how much of a hassle it is to generate a PDF with decent HTML5 rendering from my SaaS apps. I tried several free libs and APIs but ended up with botched rendering a lot of times. So I set out to simplify this chore by creating an AWS hosted HTML to PDF conversion API that's based on Chrome. 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…

    Hi 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…

    Hey HN! I wanted to share something I built over the last few weeks: isometric.nyc is a massive isometric pixel art map of NYC, built with nano banana and coding agents. I didn't write a single line of code. Of course no-code doesn't mean no-engineering. This project took a lot more manual labor than I'd hoped! I wrote a deep dive on the workflow and some thoughts about the future of AI coding and creativity: http://cannoneyed.com/projects/isometric-nyc
