PdfDing Update: Signatures, dedicated website + docs (lemmy.world)

Hi /c/selfhosted,

just a quick update regarding PdfDing as this was one of the most requested features. I am pleased to announce that PdfDing now has support for adding signatures to PDFs. The signatures are stored on the server, so they can be accessed from any device. Fun fact: As some of you know PdfDing is receiving a grant from the NGI Zero Commons Fund. By chance the signature on the grant memorandum was the first real signature with PdfDing.

In addition to this, PdfDing now has a dedicated website and documentation. As a non frontend dev I still feel like I have no idea what I am doing with regards to the frontend, so it's a mind boggling that I have now created a web app and a website that I find aesthetically pleasing. Obviously, it has been a big help to take inspiration from the design of many other great self-hosted apps.

PdfDing is selfhosted PDF manager, viewer and editor offering a seamless user experience on multiple devices. It's designed be to be minimal, fast, and easy to set up using Docker. You can find the repository here. As always stars on github are very welcome.

Thanks. I looked into the demo. When would you recommend pdfding over paperless ngx? It looks like easy sharing and annotations are focused. Tagging is a feature which both tools share.

At first I thought it would be a tool like pdf24 (cutting, merging, editing PDFs).
