Ah, I didn't realize that these were updated, I thought it just used a regex to verify the email, phone number, filter bad words, etc.

A lot of these seem useful and having APIs that need to be updated is a good VP, however for things like HTML to PDF, there are libraries that already do this.

People will likely use the HTML -> PDF API, but in terms of the new APIs you are developing, I think you will attract more customers with things that cannot be implemented simply with a library and instead need to be managed by you.

Just my two cents, good luck!

Thanks lappa, good points. That's definitely what we are focusing more on (stuff that you can't simply use a standard software library for)
