Show HN: Leafwright – Generate PDFs without running headless Chrome

Leafwright launches a document workspace that generates PDFs without headless Chrome, offering AI-assisted drafting, brand controls, and a render API. The platform targets document teams needing on-brand exports at scale.

We propose a six-week engagement to rebuild Northwind's document system — templates, a brand kit, and an API-driven render pipeline so every export ships on-brand.

Trusted by document teams shipping at scale NorthwindLedgerlyCartographMeridianFieldnote Workspace Everything a finished document needs, in one place. Draft with AI Describe the document, audience, and key sections — get structured, on-brand output you can edit in the studio. Brand controls Lock fonts, colors, and footers in a brand kit so every export stays consistent without manual cleanup. Render API Generate PDFs programmatically with project keys, signed delivery URLs, webhooks, and automatic retries. Review & approve Inline accessibility and print checks catch issues before a document is exported or shared. How it works Build documents without losing the operations layer. 01 01 Connect Create a project, generate API keys, and set delivery and webhook preferences. 02 02 Build Draft from a prompt or template, edit on the canvas, and preview the exact output. 03 03 Operate Track render jobs, logs, usage, and billing — from the dashboard or the API. API Use the dashboard, or call the API. Same engine. Projects, keys, jobs, delivery URLs, usage, and webhooks all share one model.
