• Ask HN: What have you built more than twice and wish someone had built for you?

  A SaaS for managing personal documents. The closest I have right now (not SaaS) is paperless-ng[0], but I have to self-host it, unless I missed a really compelling solution. I have a sea of documents, both physical and electronic, and it's always a struggle to scan/organize/find them. I'd pay good money for a software/service that manages my documents, from scanning to archiving. [0] - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

  Paperless ng Make your scanner put files in a place that Paperless can read them, then Paperless OCRs the file, makes it searchable, somehow finds the date of the documents, auto tags if you have it setup, and basically is a dream. https://github.com/jonaswinkler/paperless-ng There is a newer Paperless ngx that I have to upgrade to at some point. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Ask HN: What do you use for your personal document hell?

  Paperless-ng (https://github.com/jonaswinkler/paperless-ng) is the way to go. I have an instance of it running on a RPI 4 and a network attached scanner.
