Hi c/selfhosted,

PdfDing is a selfhosted PDF manager, viewer and editor offering a seamless user experience on multiple devices. You can find the repo here. After around 9 months of work the app is finally where I wanted it to be and can be considered stable. Last week version v1.0.0 was finally released. Leading up to this I did a major UI revamp which now supports different layouts.

Let me know what you think of the new UI. If you like PdfDing consider starring the repo on github.

Hi /c/opensource,

I am developing PdfDing - a selfhosted PDF manager, viewer and editor. You can find the repo here.

Today I reached a big milestone as PdfDing reached over 600 stars on github. A good portion of these stars probably comes from being included in the favorite selfhosted apps launched in 2024 on selfh.st.

Here is a quick overview over the project's features:

• Seamless browser based PDF viewing on multiple devices. Remembers current position - continue where you stopped reading
• Stay on top of your PDF collection with multi-level tagging, starring and archiving functionalities
• Edit PDFs by adding annotations, highlighting and drawings
• Clean, intuitive UI with dark mode, inverted color mode and custom theme colors
• SSO support via OIDC
• Share PDFs with an external audience via a link or a QR Code with optional access control
• Markdown Notes
• Progress bars show the reading progress of each PDF at a quick glance

As always I am happy if you star the repo or if someone wants to contribute.

Hi, I am the developer of PdfDing. One thing I am not sure about is the frequency of my releases. What do you folks prefer in self-hosted projects? More releases in order to get new features as fast as possible or fewer releases with bigger feature additions?

Hi c/selfhosted,

I am the developer of PdfDing. As this feature was requested quite often I wanted to inform you that it is now possible to edit PDFs by adding annotations, highlighting and drawings. You can find the repo here.

I also got the feedback that organizing PDFs with simple tags does not work for many people. It is now possible to organize PDFs with multi-level tags. I hope this will improve the user experience.

If you like PdfDing I would be really happy over a star on GitHub. As the project is open source, if anyone wants to contribute you are welcome to do so!
