Site2pdf
Hello everyone, I created a tool called "site2pdf" over the weekend. This tool converts the main page and sub-pages of a website that match a specified URL pattern into a PDF file. It is particularly suitable for AI-based RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) and QA (Question Answering) tasks. GitHub: https://github.com/laiso/site2pdf/ # Features - Generate PDFs of main and sub-pages - Based on Node.js and Puppeteer - Easy-to-use CLI tool I want to make this software available online for my friends, but I'm struggling with the best architecture to use. I want to meet…
Site2pdf launched on July 16, 2024 with 5 votes, #2,267 of 5,184 launches that month and more than 50% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 2 years on.
What it does
Generate comprehensive PDFs of entire websites, ideal for RAG. - laiso/site2pdf

Turn any website into a knowledge base for LLMs2024 · embedding.io · ▲305I built this tool because I wanted a way to just take a bunch of URLs or domains, and query their content in RAG applications. It takes away the pain of crawling, extracting content, chunking, vectorizing, and updating periodically. I'm curious to see if it can be useful to others. I meant to launch this six months ago but life got in the way...
Simplepdf.eu – a browser-based PDF annotator / editor2022 · simplepdf.eu · ▲47Hi HN! I've been working on SimplePDF to solve a problem I encounter weekly: filling out non-editable PDFs [1] --- # About SimplePDF - The documents you load, edit, fill never see the light of my server, everything is processed locally – no remote uploading anything. This includes the PDF generation. - There are no analytics / third party tracking your every move (I do collect usage data, but it's fully anonymous and processed and stored on my server): therefore no annoying cookie banner. You can read more on the Privacy Policy [2] - If someone before you has filled the same document,…
- TAThePDFApi, 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…
I got 50% of my traffic from ChatGPT instead of GoogleDec 2025 · localpdf.online · ▲16Hi HN, I'm the creator of LocalPDF (https://localpdf.online). The thing I'm sharing here is Studio: https://localpdf.online/app/studio Most PDF apps are built around isolated tools — merge, split, rotate, delete pages, edit text, and so on. That works fine for one-off tasks, but a lot of real PDF work isn't one-off. Usually it's more like: open a few files, compare them, pull pages from one into another, remove junk, reorder things, make a couple of edits, then export the result. That workflow always felt awkward to me in traditional PDF editors because you keep…
PDFly – 56 free PDF tools that run in the browserJul 2026 · pdfly.uk · ▲10Hi HN! I built PDFly — a PDF toolkit that runs entirely client-side. No file uploads, no server processing, no account needed. It has 56 tools including merge, split, compress, convert, redact, compare, and an AI chat feature to ask questions about your PDF content. Everything runs in your browser using [mention your tech stack if relevant, e.g., WASM/JS libraries]. Would love feedback on the tools, UX, or anything else!

Many years ago, I made VJ softwares (to mix live visuals in clubs) for unexpected platforms like the Game Boy Advance, the Playstation 2 and the Raspberry Pi. This year, I’m back with a new web-app: Pikimov. Inspired by Photopea (a free Photoshop clone), I created this web-based motion design & video editor as an alternative to After Effects, to fill empty void. It's free, without signup, without cloud uploads (your files stay on your machine), and your projects are not used for AI models training.
