~/why$

Why I built this

I wanted a fast, local way to turn Markdown into a properly formatted PDF, entirely in the browser. Building it let me work with the unified, remark, and rehype pipeline and convert a Markdown AST directly into a pdfmake document definition, so the PDF is typeset from the document structure itself.
