Working on PDF Templating using @typst.app at @oicana.com I maintain several open source plugins for @bevy.org, like bevy_asset_loader and bevy_kira_audio

With final work on the docs for PHP and Java integrations almost done, Oicana now has seven integrations 🥳 Through the integrations, you can create PDFs from #Typst with TS/JS in the browser and in Node.js, with C#, Java, Python, PHP, and Rust.

The Bevy Metrics dashboard is now live at metrics.bevy.org! For each Bevy commit this tracks compile times, binary size, and runs stress tests on standardized, real gaming hardware. These are all graphed to identify historical trends and track down commits that improve or regress the state of Bevy!

Great writeup on why Typst excels at automatic PDF generation and how to get started. Oicana builds on this with ready-to-use libraries (C#/Node.js/browser) and developer tools to make templating even easier. docs.oicana.com/getting-star...

Setup - Oicana

To get started, you need the Oicana CLI and an editor for Typst. Both is only necessary on machines used for Oicana template development. An end-user machine, running software that uses an Oicana inte...

Using Typst to autogenerate PDFs is pretty popular. And many of you ARE DOING IT WRONG!! We have put together a new blog post with the best approach to PDF generation using Typst (hint: don't use an external script to generate Typst markup). typst.app/blog/2025/au...

I am using NestJS for the first time to build the Node.js example project for Oicana. The DI system seemed a bit strange at first, but it's growing on me. Definitely better than using plain Axios, which is what we did at work last time I was writing Node services ^^

*The examples for the Node.js and Rust integrations are still a work in progress. In the meantime, we're curious: what other programming languages would you like to see an Oicana integration for? Let us know!

This has been my side project for more than a year now. I am very exited for Typst and think that it deserves a lot more usage in business software. Give Oicana a try and let me know what you think 😊

Tired of slow, clunky PDF templating with vendor lock-in? We were too. That's why Oicana is built on the open source typesetter @typst.app. Get lightning-fast renders of complex, data-driven PDFs in your frontend, backend or anywhere in-between. #devtools #pdf #templating

In the past two years, Typst has become the foundation to base document writing on for so many people. With the lessons from their experience, we are launching our new website today.

For the #bevy jam with the topic "chain reaction", I had the idea to play match 3 along snake. But after building the snake part, I didn't like the idea anymore ^^ New idea: only the snake triggers matches. The match 3 chain reactions kill the snake when hitting the body. Only two days left ⌛
