https://paperquik.com https://paperquik.com I still take notes on paper sometimes and most "paper" sites are just a bunch of pre-created PDF files. Mine creates a SVG on the fly and then can print it out from the page. While I really loved creating it and still use it myself, I wish printer support in the browsers was better. I don't have to deal with garbage like IE anymore, but nobody gives me a chance to remove automatic margins and stuff that gets printed in those margins. I can tell the user to do it manually, but much better would be a chance to prompt the user and offer to remove all of that if they OK it.

Did you also deal with the Safari margin issues? I can't make a proper DIN 5008 template because of it.

  In the Mac printer settings under Safari the user can uncheck "Print headers and footers" manually and that's almost sufficient for me. For reasons I've struggled with debugging, it wants to print a second blank page after the first one. As long as the user skips the second sheet everything looks OK for Safari for my app.

Wow! This is just bl**dy brilliant. I needed this. I love scribbling and think by writing a lot. I even made an Affinity Publisher template but I knew that was using a sledgehammer to kill a fly. Is this source open? Can I tinker with it? For those looking for well-done printables, especially with web/app development/design, you should check out https://www.sketchize.com https://www.sketchize.com

  Of course it is my friend, of course it is :) https://github.com/JohnMunsch/PaperQuik.com https://github.com/JohnMunsch/PaperQuik.com Note: It should be very easy to work on if you know JS. It's a handful of very simple Web Components and the SVG paper generation code. I did my best to have nice clean code for all of it.
