Show IH: Hybiscus - create beautiful PDF reports using a simple JSON API
Hey everyone,
I'd like to introduce you to my side project, Hybiscus, a SaaS for generating beautiful looking PDF reports using a simple JSON API. All you need to do is provide the content and then just choose from a selection of pre-designed components to display your content.
Features
- 🎨 Pre-designed selection of components for displaying content
- 📊 Data visualisation components for visualising data
- 🖍 Customisable colour and typography themes
- 👨🏻💻 Simple JSON API to create reports
Some great use cases for it include automating the generation of reports from website and social media analytics, or from IoT sensors and devices.
I'm keen to see how people can use Hybiscus for their work, as well as any feedback you have!
@bluelemon nice! Do you use any monitoring or E2E tests to ensure your API doesn't suddenly have bugs etc? I'm curious about tools used by API startups
Well I'm also looking to learn more about better of ways of handling this. Currently I rely on running tests before deploying to ensure code works properly. As for during production to monitor perhaps running some tests periodically like on a cron job could be an interesting idea...I'd probably look at some custom scripts unless you have any good suggestions?
@bluelemon thanks for the reply!
I was just thinking it might be useful to have a standalone web app where you can enter tests using a UI and the app runs tests for you regularly or on every deploy etc
