New comment by sosojustdo in "Show HN: MD To – Convert Markdown to Word without the bloat"

I faced this exact struggle when trying to get clean Word exports for clients who don't touch Markdown. Pandoc is powerful but the CLI and template management can be a massive overhead for simple tasks.

I ended up building MarkdownCo Pro to bridge that gap. It focuses on maintaining formatting precision without needing to mess with Haskell filters or complex LaTeX setups. It’s been a fun challenge to handle nested lists and table alignments properly in .docx—definitely one of the trickier parts of the conversion logic.

Why are Shopify app reviews so hard to evaluate?

I’ve been reading through a large number of Shopify App Store reviews and noticed how difficult it is to extract real signals from star ratings.

Common issues seem to repeat across apps, but they’re buried under noise and generic feedback.

For those familiar with marketplaces: Is this a review system problem, or a decision-making problem?

I've been working on a tool specifically to handle these messy PDF-to-Markdown conversions because I ran into the same issues with tables and multi-column layouts.

I’ve optimized https://markdownconverter.pro/pdf-to-markdown to handle complex PDFs, including those tricky tables that span multiple pages and 2-column formats that usually trip up tools like Docling. It also extracts embedded diagrams/images and links them properly in the output.

Full disclosure: I'm the developer behind it. I’d love to see if it handles your specific datasheets better than the models you've tried. Feel free to give it a spin!
