Certificate Generator in Development with Flask and Python

Most CS students finish tutorials. I'm trying to finish products. Currently building a Certificate Generator a tool that eliminates the manual work of creating certificates for events, hackathons, and workshops. Still in development. Not deployed yet. But here's what the build looks like: 𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗰𝗸: → Flask (Python) for the backend → PyMuPDF for PDF rendering → Pillow for image/signature processing → Vanilla JS for a fully custom drag-and-drop editor → CSV input for bulk generation, JSON for template config 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘁 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀: → Generate single or bulk certificates from a CSV → Live preview before PDF export → Drag-and-drop text/signature positioning → ZIP download for bulk batches → Full font, color & signature customization The hardest part wasn't the PDF generation. It was building the interactive template editor from scratch no React, no libraries, just the browser's native APIs. That constraint made me a better developer. Deployment coming soon. Will post the link when it's live. If you're building something similar or have feedback on this project, drop it below. 🚀 #Python #Flask #WebDev #BuildInPublic #CSStudent #FullStackDevelopment #ProjectBuild

Solid build, but scalability is where this really gets tested. Bulk PDF generation with large CSVs and multiple templates can become a serious bottleneck — how are you handling performance and resource management there?
