What it does
Transactional.dev - the ultimate relief for developers tired of tedious PDF generation. Combine the power of Mailgun, VS Code, TailwindCss, Google Fonts and Chromium to effortlessly create, manage, and distribute stunning PDFs.
Design HTML + Tailwind + Handlebars templates in a modern editor, then render branded transactional PDFs through a single API call or via MCP-aware AI agents.
Describe the document to an AI agent. It writes the HTML, picks the fonts, wires the variables. You call one endpoint, or your MCP-aware editor does it for you, and you get a PDF back. Write the HTML and Tailwind yourself, or let an AI agent design it for you — both modes share the same editor and any Google Font. Drop Handlebars placeholders, conditions and loops where the data should land. One template, infinite personalized PDFs. Your backend POSTs the document id and the variables it already has. No SDK to learn, no rendering code to maintain. We compile, render and host the PDF on our CDN — return the URL to your user or store it for later. Every call is logged in the dashboard. > Add…from transactional.dev

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:…

Talanoa▲346Hi 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…
