very nice, it'd be good to see a feature comparison as when I use mupdf it's not really just about speed, but about the level of support of all kinds of obscure pdf features, and good level of accuracy of the built-in algorithms for things like handling two-column pages, identifying paragraphs, etc.
the licensing is a huge blocker for using mupdf in non-OSS tools, so it's very nice to see this is MIT
It seems that he didn't even test it before submitting though…
The author has created 30 new projects on github, in half a dozen different programming language, over the past month alone, and he also happen to have an LLM-generated blog. I think it's fair to say it's not “legitimately useful” except as a way for the author to fill his resume as he's looking for a job.
Exactly this, I like to give the benefit of the doubt to people but pushing huge chunks of code this quickly shows the whole thing is vibe coded
I actually don’t mind LLM generated code when it’s been manually reviewed, but this and a quick look through other submissions makes me realise the author is simply trying to pad their resume with OSS projects. Respect the hustle, but it shows a lack of respect for other’s time to then submit it to show HN

python bindings would be good too
