  • Project mention: Launch HN: Onedoc (YC W24) – A better way to create PDFs | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-03-11

But I think this client-side library works well enough, as a start: https://pdf-lib.js.org/#:~:text=a%20single%20document.-,Fill...

    I've also heard of one paid API that I forgot but seemed to work well, and this related service https://www.jotform.com/, and I also considered porting some server-side libraries to WASM. One day I'll collect all the libraries and findings in a blog post.

  • Project mention: Launch HN: Twenty.com (YC S23) – open-source CRM | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-07-19

    Odoo is very successful but it's different because it's an ERP so CRM is only a small part of what they do. They tend do do a lot of things so can't do all of them very well.
