Nutrient – The #1 PDF SDK Library, trusted by 10K+ developers
Other PDF SDKs promise a lot - then break. Laggy scrolling, poor mobile UX, tons of bugs, and lack of support cost you endless frustrations. Nutrient’s SDK handles billion-page workloads - so you don’t have to debug PDFs. Used by ~1 billion end users in more than 150 different countries.

  • Selfhosted discord alternative
    3 projects | /r/selfhosted | 28 Mar 2023
    What's not open source of Revolt Chat? Last time I checked, they were using GPL 3.0.
  • How to use API?
    1 project | /r/revoltchat | 7 Mar 2023
    Our API is documented here, and there's API libraries for popular programming languages (I'd recommend you use one of those instead of rolling your own implementation). To authenticate as bot you have to pass X-Bot-Token instead of X-Session-Token.
  • Issues with channels
    1 project | /r/revoltchat | 12 Sep 2022
    Fixed as of https://github.com/revoltchat/backend/commit/86ad72b4264ca08ad39023dacff82684cb0ae9ee.

  • Revolt: Open-source alternative to Discord written in Rust
    9 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 6 Sep 2021
    Just want to suggest that if you're interested in doing this in the future, please put in effort to define interfaces up front. I took a quick look at the codebase and it looks like mongo is "in there pretty good"[0] without any abstraction to make it easily shimmable.

    Just a little specification around the that interface (Trait) will go a long way to making other backends possible and should make it much easier to know and manage the API contract a capable database must provide.
