A private-beta typesetting engine that turns Markdown into book-quality, searchable PDFs through an API.

Why it surfaced

legivel makes a specific case against browser-based PDF conversion: it promises book-grade line breaking, vector Mermaid diagrams and TeX math, clickable document structure, and batch processing at volume. The unusually concrete pitch—and the claim that the engine never fetches remote URLs during conversion—makes this more than another vague developer API landing page.

The Largest Cat Has No Number

August 14’s newborn domains include an unnumbered giant among thirteen catalogued glossy cats, a shareable Visual Snow Syndrome simulator, two independent Colombian relief directories, and a snail farm with races, courtship, and its own Gazette.

This is one of 1,000 discoveries in the 2026-08-14 Domain Arrivals issue.
