What BaseToPDF is

BaseToPDF turns Notion databases and pages into professional, client-ready PDFs and ERD diagrams. Users connect their Notion, design a template once, and generate polished documents on demand, no copy-paste, no separate design tool.

We designed and built the whole product: the Canva-style editor, the Notion OAuth integration, the prebuilt template library, batch PDF generation, ERD diagram export and AI-powered template generation.

What we built, layer by layer

Not a prototype. A complete product, every layer, from the Notion integration and the editor to the templates, the ERD engine and the marketing site that sells it.

The BaseToPDF marketing site

The marketing site

We didn't just build the product. We built and positioned the site that sells it, using the same skills we offer clients.

The BaseToPDF app

The app

The workspace where users connect Notion, manage their templates, and generate PDFs and ERDs in a few clicks.

The BaseToPDF dashboard

The dashboard

Credits, PDFs generated and ERD views at a glance, with one click back into any saved template.

Notion OAuth integration

Notion integration

A secure OAuth connection, so users link their Notion workspace in a single click, no API keys to wrangle.

The Canva-style document editor

The Canva-style editor

A drag-and-drop document editor with Notion databases wired in. Design a layout once, generate forever.

Prebuilt document templates

Prebuilt templates

A library of polished, client-ready templates, proposals, reports, summaries, so users start from a head start, not a blank page.

Auto-generated ERD diagram

ERD diagram generation

Point it at a Notion database and it auto-generates an entity-relationship diagram of the schema, exportable in a click.

Built with Claude, run on its own

The same way we'd build yours: senior judgment plus the modern AI stack, shipped fast and engineered to keep running.

Claude Code

Written with Claude Code

The Canva-style editor, the Notion integration and the PDF and ERD engine were built with Claude Code, from database schema to UI.

Cowork

Designed with Cowork

Product structure, flows and copy were worked out with Claude Cowork in the loop, not bolted on after.

AI inside

AI template generation

We wired AI in so users describe the document they want and get a ready template, instead of starting from a blank canvas.

Hands-off

Now managed automatically

Builds, checks and routine upkeep run on their own, so the product keeps shipping without manual babysitting.
