Hi, I'm a solo-founder, went full-time in April on solving two problems with Orshot(bootstrapped):

1: Help non-designers design beautiful visuals(Canva solves this nicely)

2: Also help same users and teams/agencies to automate their designs and produce visual content at scale(easily), via Rest API/Integrations etc. This is something that Canva doesn't solve, and I'm pretty sure this is the future of designs and templates

Currently Orshot handles images and pdfs easily, you design a template in a Canva-like editor(some more work is needed to make it more useful for non-designers)

For each template you get a Rest API with template ID, which you can use in your backend to generate images/pdfs from your data. There are 10+ integrations and I'm looking to work on more(Hubspot, Shopify etc.)

If you give it a try, I would love your feedback, because I'm only as good as the bounds of my thoughts. Help me cover a bigger space :)

PS: I know Canva has API in enterprise plan, I want to bring it to consumers and small teams
