Ask HN: Have you built internal tools to generate complex PDFs?
I’m working on a modular doc engine for generating complex PDFs; think insurance policy docs, contracts, compliance forms.
We’ve spoken with insurtech teams dealing with template sprawl from manual copy-paste, PDF logic buried in code that eng teams have to maintain.
If you’ve dealt with this in the past: what did you build? What failed? What would have helped?
Would love your thoughts: https://sutro.one

Open Sourcing our Startup – AI-powered avatars (UE 5.2)
Hi HN
TL;DR: Had to shut down our startup SPAR - Open Sourcing the code https://github.com/spar-app/spar-services
In 2024, we developed an AI agent infrastructure to support realistic, personality-driven AI avatars in real-time. The business use case was to provide a new training (sparring) and onboarding tool for companies. In particular, for companies that need to train customer-facing employees (ex, high-end retail)
To achieve the above, we were orchestrating three servers: 1. The first to run a Metahuman on Unreal Engine (5.2); 2. The second to run a custom finetuned open-sourced LLM; 3. The third to handle all the rest, connecting to the above two servers and streaming (WebRTC) on the client's browser, while coordinating with external APIs (Text-to-Speech and Speech-to-Text, etc.).
Key features: * Real-time interactions with distinct avatar personalities. * Fine-tuning toolkit for customizing and refining LLM-generated dialogues. * Structured feedback system that links actionable guidance directly to conversation points.
The future will use AI and immersive experiences to practice soft skills. We will not be building this future, but if you are, feel free to use our work to accelerate yours

Show HN: KRDS – Korea Government Design System in React and MUI
I built an implementation of the Korea Design System (krds.go.kr) using React and MUI.
- Storybook: https://krds.gracefullight.dev - NPM: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@gracefullight/krds - GitHub: https://github.com/gracefullight/krds - Figma: https://www.figma.com/community/file/1452915208095182951
To support developers working on public sector UIs, or anyone exploring frontend architecture and design systems in real-world projects.
Current limitations:
- Icons are from @mui/icons-material for now - Design tokens are static and will be refactored to improve developer experience.
Feedback & Contributions:
- Open to evolving this further with community input. - PRs and issues are always welcome, and I'd consider moving it to an organization if there's enough interest.
