Show HN: Make PDFs look scanned (CLI or in the browser via WASM)

I made this because the online "make my PDF look scanned" tools want you to upload your file to their servers, which feels sketchy at best. Also, I wasn't happy with the output they produce, I wanted something that looks realistic.

Show HN: StartupWiki – A Free Alternative to Crunchbase
2026-06-20 @ 15:59:29Points: 190Comments: 59
The original motivation was frustration with how difficult it can be to find information on early-stage startups. Most databases need accounts, or subscriptions, ro just feel too cluttered. I wanted a website that felt like Wikipedia, no accounts, no subscriptions, no weird metrics, just go in, the info is on the page.
The project is still very early, but currently includes:
Startup profiles Search and filtering Company categorization Public API (in progress)
I'm especially interested in feedback on:
What information you look for when researching startups Features missing from existing startup databases API use cases
I'd love to hear feedback.
