Creator here. I built this API using Laravel Vapor and headless chrome to generate the documents, running on Serverless architecture for scaleability. Service aims to make document creation easy.
The service looks really great, it solves a problem, it looks ready to be used in production, market that. "docamatic makes document creation easy using HTML template and an API" or such.
HN is fairly technical audience but the tools you used are secondary.
My feedback: Terms-of-service say it's based in the UK, privacy policy talks about safeguards when data travels from Europe to outside Europe. I think that might need to be updated to the GDPR regulation that came into effect last year.
Hey, thank you for the feedback! Much appreciated. Yes I think my copy needs a little tweaking. I spent a lot of time working on it. One of the underestimated parts of any project!
Regarding the GDPR, I have built the product with this in mind and basically operate on a less is more principal when it comes to data. There is quite a lot of bits and pieces to go through, so wanted to make sure everything there was solid before advertising as GDPR compliant.
Sweet that the stated monthly prices are true, and the yearly prices are further discounted. Rather than the usual "X per month﹡" and "﹡ʷʰᵉⁿ ᵖᵃⁱᵈ ʸᵉᵃʳˡʸ" BS.
I think what mc3 was talking about is some SaaS companies advertising their products as $X/mo when in reality the monthly pricing is more than that and $X is the cost iff you commit to an annual plan.
For example you might see pricing for $100/mo but that is only if you commit to 12 months ahead of time. Otherwise you'll pay $120/mo with no annual commitment.
