links: site | repo | project page
DevSheets has always been built around the web page: searchable, crawlable, linkable, and easy to update. But sometimes a cheat sheet wants to be a thing you can open in another tab, save, print, or keep beside the editor.
So this pass added standalone PDFs for every catalog language and format: Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, HTML, CSS, SQL, Java, C#, C++, C, Go, Rust, PHP, Bash, Kotlin, Swift, GraphQL, JSON, and Markdown.
These are not dumps of the full web sheets. They are shorter curated references with a different job. Each one aims for two readable landscape pages, with the everyday syntax, commands, and examples that make sense as a quick offline reference.
what shipped:
- 19 editable PDF source files
- 19 generated public PDFs
- matching preview images for each sheet
- a shared PDF card component under exact language sheet headers
- links that open the native PDF in a new tab
- consistent typography, code styling, page size, and reference links
The interesting part was treating each language as its own small feature. One branch, one focused commit, one validation pass, then merge and move on. That is slower than dumping all 19 into one giant change, but the output is easier to review and the mistakes have somewhere to land.
The small lesson: web-first does not have to mean web-only. The site is still the main DevSheets experience, but a good PDF gives the same content another useful shape.
