This locally hosted web application started as a 100% ChatGPT-made application and has evolved to include a wide range of features to handle all your PDF needs.

O.o

Actually most of the python scripts I work with are gpt made.

The possibities are endless, and even specific things can be done within 10 minutes.

That makes me thinkin... I need a script database like solution to have an overview about all the features. Maybe I have a swiss army knife tool one gpt answer away on my drive.

This is truly awesome. Took 1 min to Sinatra. Crazy fast and good.

Its pretty easy to selfhost on a regular Fedora Distrobox container. But a bit annoying to set up and all, would be great if someone would package it as a Flatpak.

The dependencies are huge though, complete Libreoffice, tesseract and all. Having that in a Flatpak would be huge bloat.

But on a webserver that also runs Nextcloud, it would be the perfect addition!

Looks nice, going to install. I usually use pdftk, but sometimes it can be really tricky, especially the rotate command.
