It's only $3 for life for beta users :) More seriously though, thanks for the feedback. We're not sure what the best pricing is yet. $10/user/mo is in line with similar products an…

Probably not as interesting now that you can play with the actual tool, but we also wrote several blog posts describing our thinking and goals for solving this problem: https://www…

We got tired of not being able to accurately answer "When will this be done?" and "Will anyone be required to work overtime on the current schedule?", or spending too much time in …

Thanks for the insight!

Ha! I think project managers as infrastructure makes a lot of sense. Just seems like there should be ways to smooth out the process, especially with smaller teams/companies so less…

No problem! It's a weird question to ask. A lot of companies just hire a project manager and let them work it out. There seems like there should be a better way, or at least some p…

There's obviously a lot of different project management strategies. Some companies seem to have project managers assign daily tasks to each developer. The PMs then spend a lot of t…

Who breaks the work down: you or the PM? Does the PM ever bother you to get the status of something, or is it always clear from the kanban board? I've seen the "bug the developer f…

I'm shocked by the amount of time development teams spend "managing" projects instead of working on them. I've been interviewing people for an upcoming software project and it's co…

How do you differ from Skypher.co, which is another YC company? We're about to sign up with them.

Biased cause I work there, but DocRaptor offers a saas API version of the Prince library with a much lower usage-based monthly fee.

Those things can be really difficult with the browser-based libraries because the browsers don't yet (and seemingly never will) support CSS Paged Media. That's why commercial engin…

Hi, I'm a developer at DocRaptor. What about DocRaptor didn't work for you?

I'm a developer at https://docraptor.com . We're an official Prince partner with a SaaS pricing model, but we've got a separate JavaScript engine for that very reason.

That's also an API service, http://docraptor.com , with a different pricing model that uses the Prince library for PDF rendering.

DocRaptor is based on PrinceXML, but also includes a much more advanced JavaScript engine

PrinceXML is definitely the best tool, but there are a couple similar commercial alternatives and wkhtmltopdf have become a decent open source solution as long as you want basic do…

Commercial, but DocRaptor does with some additional Javascript parsing on top of PrinceMXL

It, it used QTWebkit directly. Wkhtmltopdf uses a forked version of Webkit with several PDF-specific enhancements (better support for paging, fixes a couple bugs, etc).

http://get.gaug.es/ was built to do exactly this with unlimited sites.

I'll consider that, but I don't think netbooks generate enough traffic to be truly relevant yet.
