Introducing Ahmed Adawy Tech Capsules
For the past weeks, I have been building a project that combines technical writing, automation, and software engineering into a single publishing workflow.
Today I'm happy to introduce Ahmed Adawy Tech Capsules.
A Python-powered publishing engine that transforms Markdown documents into professional technical publications.
Why I Built It
Writing technical content is easy.
Publishing it professionally is not.
Most technical writers spend hours formatting documents, creating PDF files, styling pages, generating tables of contents, and maintaining documentation.
I wanted one command to do everything.
Features
- Professional HTML rendering
- Beautiful PDF generation using WeasyPrint
- Automatic cover pages
- Automatic Table of Contents
- Syntax highlighting powered by Pygments
- Metadata support
- Modular architecture
- Library index generation
- Streamlit Web Interface
- GitHub Actions CI/CD
- Automated testing
