Templated
Hey HN! While building our own SaaS we kept running into the same problem: customers wanted a real design editor (think Canva/Figma-lite) *inside* their product, but rebuilding all that UI from scratch is a quarter-million-dollar distraction. So we turned our internal tool into *Templated Embed* — a drop-in image & PDF template editor you can add to any web app with an tag. - What it does? • Full WYSIWYG editor for text, images, SVGs, brand colours, Google Fonts • Outputs static images (PNG/JPG), layered PDFs, or keeps the design JSON so you can re-render via API • Multi-page +…

In plain words
Templated is an embedded design editor that developers can integrate into their applications with minimal code. It allows end users to create visual designs directly within the app, similar to Canva. The tool offers a customizable interface that can match app branding, supports webhooks to track user actions, and provides APIs for automatically generating images and PDFs. It's designed for applications that need built-in design capabilities.

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.
