Neat but as others are saying this is for a technical audience and there is a lot of other options for this.
I could see some devs opting to use an open source software version and electing to host with your cloud hosting when devs do not want to bother keeping it securely hosted.
Small market though. Better to create a bunch of freemium sites to help normies do things with pdfs like convert them to docx or other image types… normies pay a fee to do a bunch of them, a big one, or to unlock a password protected one…
Thank you for the feedback! I agree, the niche seems pretty small. But I think there are not so many other options for this use case. At least I feel that creating a template and fitting your data into it is a different use case than throwing an arbitrary JSON against an API and getting a PDF document out straight away.
Open sourcing the project is not something that I have decided against. Maybe it could drive more adoption. I've found Chrome to be the best tool for PDF creation in this use case, so the API is actually running a pool of Chrome instances that are used for the rendering. This makes self-hosting slightly more complicated.
