In Ask HN: What is nowadays (opensource) way of converting HTML to PDF?
Hey, not sure if I can help immediately but let's talk and see where this leads. Sent you an email. Almost all the demos mentioned or led from your resume do not work. I'd suggest fixing them. This might be your chance. Update your resume to include the recently HN popular app you did https://github.com/dvcoolarun/web2pdf btw, nothing derogatory but a professional curiosity -- are you going to continue to go by "CoolArun" everywhere or do you plan to transition to a normal one soon! ;-)
In Ask HN: I have applied to 1000 jobs from Sep. 2023 is it that bad?
