Hi c/selfhosted,

after quiet 6 months I am back with great news about PdfDing. I am very happy to announce that PdfDing is receiving a grant from the NGI Zero Commons Fund. This fund is dedicated to helping deliver, mature and scale new internet commons across the whole technology spectrum and is amongst others funded by the European Commission. The exact sum of the grant still needs to be discussed, but obviously I am very stocked to have been selected in this funding round as one of the few projects that can be selfhosted. It’s also great timing, because the past half year has been very busy both in my private and professional life, but in the coming months I finally have time again to continue improving PdfDing.

PdfDing is a selfhosted PDF manager, viewer and editor offering a seamless user experience on multiple devices. You can find the repository here. As always I would be quite happy about a star and you trying out the application.

    Nice!

    For someone unfamiliar, can you explain why someone would host PDFs? Are there any organisations that already do this?

    Also, what would be the difference between this and pdf.js (e.g. Firefox viewer) when it comes to the viewer?

    Ooh, does anyone know of something like this which can show 3 pages at once?

    Thinking of replacing the music app on an old mac mini and using a hdmi stick/pi to display it instead.

    That goes straight into my bookmarks! I’ll look into this later but it looks very nice and promising.
