Drop-in replacement for wkhtmltopdf built on Go, Electron and Docker. Athena is comprised of an Electron command line interface (CLI) tool, and a Go microservice for converting HTML to PDF documents. Athena transformed Arachne into a spider for challenging her as a weaver and/or weaving a tapestry that insulted the gods. Simple, Docker-powered PDF conversions. It was designed to do one thing and to do it well - PDF conversions; to work together with other programs; and to be able to handle text streams, because that is a universal interface. It aims to give users an on-demand capability to convert HTML to PDF without frills. At the lowest level, its CLI component (athenapdf) was designed to be an alternative / drop-in replacement for wkhtmltopdf, a popular CLI tool for HTML to PDF conversions. Because of Docker the CLI syntax is a bit more complex but it's much more reliable.
