I built a small Rust/Typst service for generating PDFs and I’d love feedback
Hey r/rust,
I’ve been working on a small project called PaperJet: https://paperjet.dev
It’s an API that takes Typst source and returns a PDF. The compute part is written in Rust, and the goal is to make PDF generation less painful for product/SaaS use cases like invoices, receipts, reports, exports, etc.
It’s still early, but it’s live now and I’d love to get feedback from people who care about Rust/dev tools/docs/API design.
Things I’m especially curious about:
• does the API feel simple enough?
• is the documentation clear?
• does the Typst-based approach make sense for your use cases?
• what would stop you from using something like this in production?
You can sign up and create an API key from the Dashboard.
Docs are here: https://api.paperjet.dev/docs
Happy to hear any feedback !
