The long term goal of this project is to make HTML/CSS the defacto way of typesetting PDF documents. I’ll definitely keep it running for as long as I can.

The web version is just the initial step, and will likely open source for people who want to self-host and to increase adoption. For pricing, will probably adopt a model similar to Overleaf where it’s free for most users and maybe charge for team collaboration or have an enterprise license.

If you do opensource it, happy to help maintain it. This product would be helpful for my (fledgling) company, but would need to be self-hosted (use case is esignatures)
