   Simple but effective

   While all the other bookmarking sites have died, pinboard.in remains and is a reliable and handy place to save all those links you love but are sure to otherwise forget.

   Great app - resolves the limitations of other doc/merge apps

   We wanted an app that would allow for custom branding and layout, the font of our choice, and merge fields across our main SF objects. Previously we used DocGen, which led to a morass of configuration to put fields in exactly the place they needed to be for the tables, as well as a bunch of SOQL queries to manage conditional logic. The VF doc generator can't accommodate the fonts we use in our branding. And so DocRaptor has been the perfect solution.

   Our developer built the contracts, and we went live within weeks with complete branding, flexibility in the data merges (we were able to remove a ton of bad config) and it's easy to manage.

   👍 Pros:    Flexible|Great customer support|Super fast

   The best HTML to PDF solution

   I have been using DocRaptor for 6 years, both for my professionnal and personnal projects. After trying several free and/or open source HTML to PDF solutions, I was happy to find this service. It's the most efficient solution, which generates the most accurate PDF documents.

   Since it's a SaaS service, there is nothing to install, no library dependencies nor experimental software that you're not sure it will be supported in the future.

   There is a lot of options and CSS rules to dig in if you want to get PDF files that exactly matches what you want. But the other solutions I tried didn't have these options, and the result was not good enough.

   🏁 Competitors: pdfmatrix.com, SelectPdf, pdflayer, Api2Pdf, PDFCrowd

   👍 Pros:    Simple api|No dependencies|Best pdf result|A lot of options to help you create the pdf you need|Good customer support

   👎 Cons:    A lot of css rules to learn if you want to get the perfect pdf of your dreams... but at least these rules exist!

• Ask HN: How do you build a landing page?

  A lot of it is just practice, but the most common tools I see used are Tailwind, React, Framer Motion, and Figma. This is a pretty diverse portfolio. Tailwind especially somehow produces a very distinct type of design imo. I'm not sure all this design is good. Homogeneity is boring, and I think the shock value of something like https://pinboard.in can be just as, if not more valuable than all these fancy... - Source: Hacker News / 26 days ago

• Show HN: Personal Knowledge Base Visualization

  You might get lucky and find a NLP expert's bookmarks on https://pinboard.in. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• I Miss Human Curation

  The list of text links is basically what https://pinboard.in is, basically - social bookmarking. I only use it privately, but it does have the exact function you're talking about as well. I don't think I would use it with thumbnail previews, since I like how lightweight it is, but it wouldn't be difficult to build something like that. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• Linkhut: A Social Bookmarking Site

  Delicious[1] was delicous, and Pinboard[2] is just there. Not into bookmarks that much except for less than 10 significant websites. I might look at ArchiveBox[3] or something like it to bookmark and take a snapshot. Again, none of them as important as it used to be. 1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delicious_(website) 2. https://pinboard.in 3. https://archivebox.io. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• The Small Website Discoverability Crisis

  I'm using a similar service - https://pinboard.in to both managing my own bookmarks and to browse other users' public bookmarks of interest by tag or using built-in search functionality. Quite useful imo. I do remember so-called "Web Rings" and still think they were a nice idea (among others, passed away), and it seems to me, del.icio.us and then pinboard.in are one of a few options we still have to make smaller... - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• Launch HN: Onedoc (YC W24) – A better way to create PDFs

  It sounds like this is as advanced as DocRaptor[1]. They have what I consider to be the best PDF generation API, giving complete control over the documents you need to create. The pricing is similar. If you'd rather do it for free weasyprint[2] is the best open source alternative. Another more affordable option you might want to consider is Urlbox[3]. (Disclosure: I work on this) Urlbox's rendering engine is based... - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• How do you generate PDF reports from HTML?

  We built the DocRaptor API to let developers have affordable access to the commercial Prince PDF engine. We have Node code examples throughout the documentation. Source: almost 2 years ago

• What is the best online HTML to PDF converter?

  I'd argue our service, DocRaptor, is the best because it's the only one powered by the Prince PDF engine. Unlike open-source, browser-based conversion engines, Prince was custom-built just for converting HTML into PDFs and offers a lot of unique functionality for making more complex PDFs.

• Is it possible to render a RazorPage (inc. CSS) to a PDF file and download via WebAPI?

  I work for https://docraptor.com, which is an HTML to PDF API. We have a C# agent. Source: almost 3 years ago
