Show HN: Dropflow, a CSS layout engine for node or <canvas>
I'm a little confused by your comment. I've been using the Prawn library to generate PDFs on the backend for a side project I am working on for quite sometime https://github.com/prawnpdf/prawn
(Admittedly, the PDFs I generate are most certainly not beautiful, so maybe that's the difference)

Working with PDFs in Ruby
to view the email preview (note the PDF attachment included in the email): ![Email preview with attachment](https://www.honeybadger.io/images/blog/posts/ruby-pdfs/email-preview.png) ## Prawn PDF [Prawn PDF](https://github.com/prawnpdf/prawn) is a pure Ruby PDF- generation library that comes packed with features, such as PNG and JPG image embeds, generated file encryption, right-to-left text rendering, a way to incorporate outlines for easy document navigation, and a lot more. Prawn comes with its own DSL, which drives its powerful PDF generation abilities. ### When to Use Prawn Although it's not a fully featured report generation library like the well-known [Jasper Reports](https://community.jaspersoft.com/), with a bit of work using it's powerful DSL, you can generate some really cool and rather complex PDF documents with Prawn. Even so, it's important to note that Prawn isn't everything. If you want to generate PDFs from HTML, then you should look elsewhere, as the gem provides very limited support for inline styling, something of a hurdle if you're working with rich HTML documents. ### Installing and Using Prawn To get started with Prawn, install it with this command: ```bash gem install prawn

Need help
Is the Prawn gem something you can utilize?

Working on Script to auto-generate templates, help needed
Javascript isn't really my thing, so first I had a go with the Prawn library in ruby, but now I'm hacking LuaTex via Fennel and having a blast.

Creating PDFs in a Ruby on Rails application
You have a few options when trying to create a PDF in a Rails environment. Prawn and Wicked PDF have been around for quite a while. I have been using both gems and they work fine. However, they have a few limitations that can make it difficult to handle more complex PDFs. I recently discovered Grover, which can remediate some of this inflexibility in creating PDFs.

What libraries do you miss from other languages?
On this note, Ruby’s Prawn is great at the writing half and I miss it in pretty much every other language.

2021 PDF planner template for goodnotes etc. (Sadly the last one)
are you using keynote to make the file and then export to pdf? I wonder if it could be possible to do this programatically, using ruby and prawn (https://github.com/prawnpdf/prawn) 🤔. I have zero time to try it today, but this could be a fun weekend project for sure.

A simple 2d graphic library
You can even check https://github.com/linebender/piet and https://github.com/RazrFalcon/tiny-skia. They are pure rust libraries. Skia as a whole is a big binary to add.
-
Typst, a modern alternative to LaTeX, is now open source
Looking through the source code. It looks like it's using tiny-skia for rendering.
-
Recommended UI framework to draw many 2D lines?
Tiny Skia (https://github.com/RazrFalcon/tiny-skia) which is a slower Rust port of Skia and does all software rendering.

Announcing piet-glow, a GL-based implementation of Piet for 2D rendering
https://github.com/RazrFalcon/tiny-skia is pretty great.

Is coding in Rust as bad as in C++? A practical comparison
I understand that this may sound harsh, but I also ported two (far bigger) codebases from C++ to Rust: rustybuzz and tiny-skia. Both of which are production -ready and not just prototypes. And mine not only do not use pointers, but also barely use unsafe in general.
-
Is there a way to avoid call overhead?
Here is a real world implementation in tiny-skia: https://github.com/RazrFalcon/tiny-skia/blob/master/src/pipeline/highp.rs

I want to draw 2d shapes directly to a u8 buffer without needing a window and without having to write drawing code from scratch.
How about tiny-skia?
-
Good example of high performance Rust project without unsafe code?
How about tiny-skia? Almost the same performance as C, no unsafe, a lot of explicit SIMD.

Announcing lyon 1.0.0
Now I would love to see a universal Bezier path crate, storage + common utilities like length, point at offset, some low-level stuff, etc. So it could be used as a foundation for other crates. Currently, there is a lot of friction because each crate has its own implementation.
-
I wrote a GUI library.
Nice to see tiny-skia in use.
