What inspired this launch I write a lot. Guides, playbooks, frameworks, systems. And every single time I reached the “export to PDF” step, everything fell apart. The writing wasn’t the problem. The formatting was. Hours lost adjusting margins, spacing, fonts, headers… The output always looked like a Google Doc pretending to be a book. Cheap. Inconsistent. Unprofessional. The moment that pushed me over the edge was when a friend asked “can you send me the finished ebook?” I hesitated because I was embarrassed by how it looked. Not the content. The design. So I built a tool for myself. Not a startup idea. Just an escape hatch from formatting hell. Write in JSON. Generate a premium PDF automatically. No Figma. No templates. No pixel pushing. I didn’t expect others to need it too, but many creators told me they feel the same pain. So today I'm sharing what I built. If you write ebooks or long-form content, I’d love your feedback on the output quality, the workflow, or what features you’d want next. Happy to answer anything behind the scenes!
