I made a tool so devs never have to deal with PDF generation again

Hi HN, After years of frustration with PDF generation, I decided to tackle this problem and create a SaaS product. My goal was to combine: -Mailgun for transactional templates -Tailwind CSS for fast styling -Google Fonts to allow font family updates in one click -VS Code for a great development experience -Chromium for pixel-perfect PDF rendering Because as developers, our value lies in building great products, not generating PDFs… Kevin
