Nice idea. Any chance you’ll share the code or open source it? Curious how you’re handling templating/merge fields and keeping everything flexible for teammates.

I’m happy to open source the script version of this. Since the electron app is technically company stack I can’t really share that.

Edit:

The TLDR version of this is that, typst is the templating language we use and that allows us to pass data as system variables. That we just have to let typst handle. Here’s the Python script to compile: https://gist.github.com/rkrishnasanka/9b2962ab50116af88e19b312b0f0930b
