Okay, not sure why it’s on top of HN.

Please don't post unsubstantive dismissive comments to HN, especially in response to someone's work. If you don't like it, there are many other interesting things to read here.

Basic programming tasks amaze HN nowadays

Please do not post snarky dismissals to HN, especially in response to someone's work. Even if you're right, there's nothing wrong with people making interesting things out of the basics, nor with posting their learning projects here. There is, however, something wrong with taking swipes at others.

Awesome! Just the tool I needed. I am developing my own board game and the hustle to create the cards to print and test was getting in the way of actually thinking about the game and the rules. A small suggestion: add a image-top and a image-bottom fields where you put a URL and the PDF includes the image on the card.

If you want a more featureful tool, but still data-oriented and built with a programming-slant, I highly recommend Squib[1]. It has tons of rendering and processing options, and fairly thorough documentation (unlike pretty much everything else out there). [1] - http://squib.rocks/

Thanks, this looks like exactly what I need. I hacked together something similar in python a few years back, but it wasn't as elegant and general.
