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.
