Re:Reflect Orbital: sunlight at night, on-demand on Thursday March 14, 2024 @11:39AM (#39705408)

Just out of curiosity, as I've seen a few comments also mentioning PrinceXML. Is OneDoc an API, wrapper, etc, on top of PrinceXML? Or is it a completely new rendering engine?

Thanks!

My midichlorians multiplied after watching this video! :)

Participating in TetuanValley was great fun, I highly recommend it to any entrepreneur in the Madrid area.
