Hi HN,I often need to generate PDFs (reports, invoices, documents) in backend services. HTML → PDF tools kept producing slightly different output depending on environment and fonts, which caused a lot of small but annoying issues.LaTeX, while not fun to write, consistently produced the same PDF every time. So I wrapped it behind a small, stateless API that other applications can call.How it works:send LaTeX (JSON or files)it compiles in an isolated environmentdownload the resulting PDFIt’s not an editor and not meant for interactive writing — just a reliable PDF engine for apps.Docs: https://texapi.ovh/docsI’m mostly looking for feedback:does this solve a real problem for you?what would you
