For programmatically filling, checkout https://platoforms.com. It even provides a API playground, https://www.platoforms.com/docs/advanced/api-playground/, super easy to test the API on your actual PDF form.

Now would be a good time to remove it. In my experience, it has caused me more trouble than good.

Ash HN: SaaS Pricing mode, PAYG or Fixed pricing plan

We launched https://formcan.com, a web form builder. Many people's first reaction is, oh, another form builder, reinventing the wheel. The truth is, we've been running https://platoforms.com, a SaaS product that converts PDFs to online forms, for 5 years, so rather than build FormCan from scratch, we got a lot of ideas while running PlatoForms and reused a lot of code when building FormCan....

When google announces a new product, the first thing I think about is always when that product will be shut down.

I really like Opera and use it as my main browser. Yes, that Chinese company is notorious. Just don't put any spyware in your oversea version. If you have to, please only plant it in Chinese release.
Really disgusting. China is on the road to 1984. A fact is, Xi only has a middle school degree...

I use jet brains Datagrip as well. It is great (for PostgreSQL) but the big issue is, it cannot connect MySQL database in utf8mb4 encoding. The issue is there for years. Dbeaver is great, there is no such issue to connect utf8mb4 MySQL!

Thanks, I will fix.
Re:TextNut – a WYSIWYG markdown editor for Mac on Wednesday April 29, 2015 @11:54AM (#9459191)
I am creator of TextNut. Thanks for your comments. Some of my points:

* Price disclosed - Yes, it is not my false. No way to put price there. I don't want to baiting so I provide trial.

* File save location - You can export at current version, either in page or Library level. I am working on iOS version, after that TextNut will support icloud and dropbox.

* WYSIWYG - I believe this why TextNut is unique with others, it does not mix markdown delimiter with content, also provide a way to switch between markdown and rich mode

* Ulysses - unfortunately, after a few version upgrade, its UI more like Ulysses. Although I prefer you say I "rip-off" from Apple Mail most. Actually, I inherit most ideas from geniuswiki that I made since 2007. (That is why the link, image, footnote using curly bracket { to open popover!) I checked in first line code of TextNut in early of 2011, but I stopped only after very roughly UI code https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CDxHr19UIAEVArE.png:large. Although UI looks more different with current, but basic design idea never be changed since then, 3 panes: doc tree, editor, help(was call `Macro` from geniuswiki), doc title is updated by content, etc. I restarted TextNut dev since the middle of last year, I got a out-sourcing UI designer and give my first version design http://www.textnutwriter.com/img/1.png. After I add Theme in 1.1 version, I set the default theme as current light grey as it can accepted by most writers. In latest 2.1 version, Tree structure doc tree is supported, then final version looks like current. As independent developer, I only invest very small amount money for UI design. I hope users can more focus on core functionalities rather than colour palette at early stage.

In texts.io, it looks all typing render to rich format but no way to get back the markdown in text.
Re:TextNut – a WYSIWYG markdown editor for Mac on Friday September 26, 2014 @12:05AM (#8371289)
TextNut markup is nearly same with common markdown and you can switch between them. The existed text is also automatically converted. Actually, only 2 major differences. One is ~emphasis~ as emphasis. Another is header uses textile format, i.e., h1. h2. ... format.
Re:TextNut – a WYSIWYG markdown editor for Mac on Thursday September 25, 2014 @07:41PM (#8370465)
I can not find other editors support switching between markup and rich formatting on the fly.
Re:For book lover, do you like my idea on selectist.com? on Tuesday March 04, 2014 @05:01PM (#7343520)
Many thanks for your great comments. The site is just launched, we still need time to figure out a good algorithm to link the list context and make recommendation. We will focus on accurate recommendation first and get more user then gradually create a community.

Yes, List display in order is good, I will fix it.

Thanks for your favour:)

For book lover, do you like my idea on selectist.com?

I just launched a website http://www.selectist.com where people talk about the books they love. It’s based on lists of your favourite books, not book ratings or reviews. You create lists of your top 3 -5 books on any topic and can see what other people think too. The key concept is a list of books can build up more meaningful context among books rather than a single book links others by...
