Description
A high-performance CLI that turns Markdown into premium, academic-grade PDFs via Typst — with zero configuration required.
Point it at a folder and it finds your README and Git metadata on its own, then renders a document with a cover page, table of contents and proper typography. No templates to wire up, no LaTeX toolchain to install.
Key features:
Around 4,000 downloads on PyPI and 40+ stars on GitHub.

My Role
Sole developer.
Designed and built the whole five-stage pipeline — input resolution, source checking, Markdown parsing, template injection and PDF compilation — and shipped it as a pip-installable package.
