Try BentoPDF if you haven't / are unhappy with StirlingPDF (awful.systems)

Not an ad, I'm not involved with Bento (or Stirling, for that matter). I've been unhappy with Stirling for a while (why do documents need to be uploaded to the server? That makes it really hard to safely host publicly. Why is it so slow? Plus, too many things are put behind a fucking paywall).

Learned about Bento this morning, tried it out, really liked it, spent an hour today packaging it for nixpkgs. It doesn't quite have feature parity with Stirling yet, but at least for me, everything I need is there, it's fast, and it keeps processing in the browser. Like, not even joking: the output of the build process/nixpkg are just a couple of static HTML files and some WASM. No server-side components at all. Really refreshing to see.

Yeah stirling has options to remove though, at least I remember seeing the option since the beginning and disabled it haha. Option to disable that should probably be a 3rd PR then got some work to do lol

Thank you for your sacrifice :D

Guess I don't have to, the dev released a new update without analytics, scripts and fonts are internal and created an issue for running as root which someone's assigned to. This project got some crazy momentum!
