[API/SDK] Show HN: DocsRouter – The OpenRouter for OCR and Vision Models Most products that touch PDFs or images quietly rebuild the same thing: a hacked-together “router” that picks which OCR&#x2F;vision API to call, normalizes the responses, and prays the bill is sane at the end of the month.<p>DocsRouter is that layer as a product: one stable API that talks to multiple OCR engines and vision LLMs, lets you route per document based on cost&#x2F;quality&#x2F;latency, and gives you normalized outputs (text, tables, fields) so your app doesn’t care which provider was used.<p>It’s meant for teams doing serious stuff with documents: invoices&#x2F;receipts, contracts, payroll, medical&#x2F;admin forms, logistics docs, etc., who are either stuck on “the OCR we picked years ago” or are overwhelmed by the churn of new vision models.<p>Right now you get a REST API, simple SDKs (coming soon), a few pluggable backends (classic OCR + newer vision models), some basic routing policies, and a playground where you can upload a doc and compare outputs side by side.<p>I’d love feedback from HN on two things:<p>1- If you already juggle multiple OCR&#x2F;vision providers, what does your homegrown router look like, and what would you need to trust an external one?<p>2 - Would you prefer this or use the LLM&#x2F;OCR providers directly, with the possibility of changing the provider every so often?<p>Demo and docs are here: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;docsrouter.com" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;docsrouter.com</a>

[Other] Show HN: MDXport – Browser-Based Markdown to PDF Using Typst and WASM Hi HN,<p>I built this because I was frustrated with existing Markdown-to-PDF converters. Most of them rely on HTML&#x2F;CSS (puppeteer) which often messes up pagination and tables, or they require uploading data to a server (privacy concerns).<p>MDXport is a purely client-side tool.<p>The Stack: - Core: Typst (a modern LaTeX alternative) compiled to WebAssembly. - Privacy: Zero data leaves your browser. All rendering happens locally via WASM. - Feature: It handles page breaks and complex tables much better than standard CSS print drivers.<p>I also added some heuristics to automatically fix common formatting errors from LLM generated markdown (e.g., broken nested lists or overflowing tables).<p>It&#x27;s currently an MVP. No sign-up required, free to use.<p>I&#x27;d love to hear your feedback on the rendering quality compared to Pandoc&#x2F;LaTeX.<p>Link: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.mdxport.com" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.mdxport.com</a>

[Code Quality] Show HN: High-Performance Wavelet Matrix for Python, Implemented in Rust I built a Rust-powered Wavelet Matrix library for Python.<p>There were surprisingly few practical Wavelet Matrix implementations available for Python, so I implemented one with a focus on performance, usability, and typed APIs. It supports fast rank&#x2F;select, top-k, quantile, range queries, and even dynamic updates.<p>Feedback welcome!

[Other] Show HN: GitForms – Zero-cost contact forms using GitHub Issues as database got tired of paying $29–99&#x2F;month for simple contact forms on landing pages and side projects (Typeform, Tally, etc.).So I built GitForms: an open-source contact form that stores submissions as GitHub Issues.How it works:Form runs on your Next.js 14 site (Tailwind + TypeScript) On submit → creates a new Issue in your repo via GitHub API You get instant email notifications from GitHub (free)<p>Zero ongoing costs:No database, no backend servers Deploy on Vercel&#x2F;Netlify free tier in minutes Configurable via JSON (themes, text, multi-language)<p>Perfect for MVPs, landing pages, portfolios, or any low-volume use case.Repo: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;Luigigreco&#x2F;gitforms" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;Luigigreco&#x2F;gitforms</a> License: CC-BY-NC-SA-4.0 (non-commercial only – fine for personal projects, not client work).Curious what HN thinks: would you use this? Any obvious improvements or edge cases I missed?Thanks!

[Other] Show HN: A community-curated list of BYOC (Bring Your Own Cloud) vendors Hi HN,<p>I’m from the team at Nuon. While building in the Bring Your Own Cloud (BYOC) space, we realized there wasn&#x27;t a centralized, community-driven resource like awesome-selfhosted.net for managed software that lives in the customer&#x27;s VPC.<p>We hope software vendors will open a PR and add their BYOC offerings.

[Other] Show HN: Deterministic PCIe Diagnostics for GPUs on Linux I built a small Linux tool to deterministically verify GPU PCIe link health and bandwidth.<p>It reports: - Negotiated PCIe generation and width - Peak Host→Device and Device→Host memcpy bandwidth - Sustained PCIe TX&#x2F;RX utilization via NVML - A rule-based verdict derived from observable hardware data only<p>This exists because PCIe issues (Gen downgrades, reduced lane width, risers, bifurcation) are often invisible at the application layer and can’t be fixed by kernel tuning or async overlap.<p>Linux-only: it relies on sysfs and PCIe AER exposure that Windows does not provide.
