DocSpring Update: Email Documents to People Automatically
docspring.com/updates/email-…
I'm using the Claude chrome extension to update all of @DocSpring's profiles across a ton of different websites. I'm so glad I don't have to click through all of these forms myself
9 years later, @DocSpring can finally do all of this! And our form library is expanding
This is so cool! You can now add the DocSpring MCP server to Claude before you even have a DocSpring account. You can then create an account while authenticating the MCP server, and Claude can start using it immediately to create and fill templates
I just launched a redesign for docspring.com
DocSpring can now fill PDF forms and Word docs, generate PDFs from HTML/CSS/Liquid templates, and we have new template creation tool called Page Designer.
Plus an MCP server so your AI agent can help you with anything
Claude is pretty good at design but it still can't look at something and figure out when it's visually centered or the rotation isn't quite right.
I think that's one thing I'm still better at (for now)
I've deleted Cursor and gone back to VS Code without any extensions. I only need a text editor a few times per day, and use Claude Code or Codex for literally everything else. I'm tempted to archive my dotfiles repo too. I no longer need any of my old aliases or scripts
Very excited to launch our new Page Designer feature:

It's possible to churn out some truly awful and buggy code if you're vibe coding. It's also possible to craft some of the best PRs you've ever seen in your life.
I have a very, very high degree of confidence in the PRs that I've been shipping lately. This is an amazing experience. I do 5-10 rounds of code review with Opus 5.5, 1-2 with GPT-6 Astra, 1-2 with Daybreak Blue, 5-10 rounds of local QA where the agent clicks through everything and checks screenshots, then a passing CI build, smoke tests, then 1-2 rounds of staging QA where the agent thoroughly tests everything in Chrome and by running commands on the server and checking logs. Then we deploy and an agent monitors Sentry and logs for the next few hours.
I was always pretty careful before but this is just next level

DocSpring Update: Word Templates
docspring.com/updates/word-t…
I'm very proud of DocSpring's API, SDKs, API docs, and e2e API test suite. It now has 100% automated test coverage for ten languages and our CLI.
And the whole thing is generated from our OpenAPI schema. I can add a new API endpoint and update all ten SDKs + CLI in about 15 minutes without any extra effort.
I don't think many companies can match what I've built
I’m excited about a big launch tomorrow. I’ve been working super hard for the last few months and I’m really proud of what I’ve been able to achieve.
We’ve got some amazing new features and a completely redesigned homepage. (And a lot more coming soon)

DocSpring Update: Rust API Client
docspring.com/updates/rust-a…
AI is very good now, but I still can't ship any significant feature without doing at least 10-15 rounds of QA and feedback, plus usually 5-10 rounds of code review (Opus 5.5, Astra, Daybreak Blue)
But the nice thing is that I can work on a dozen features in parallel
