Documentero runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 32 installs a week from npm. Last commit 24 Jul 2026.
List Documentero templates, inspect field schemas, and generate Word/PDF/Excel documents.
Nothing serious here today
Today is the operative word: we check Documentero every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.
