Hi selfhosted community,

I am pleased to announce the release v1.5.0 of PdfDing. PdfDing is a 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.

Important: Before updating, make sure to take a backup! The internal changes in this release are quite substantial and while everything is thoroughly tested, problems could still arise when performing the migrations.

The highlight of this release is the introduction of workspaces and collections. Compared to the already present tag system, they offer way greater flexibility and take the management of your PDFs to the next level. Implementing these features was quite the work as the changes required a lot of refactoring and rewriting of the existing logic. This resulted in over 70 new commits (out of a total 500), so this is by far the most for a single release. I am very pleased with the result and you hopefully too.

Furthermore, the popularity of the project keeps growing continually. We have now over 1500 Stars on github, almost 200k image pulls, over 80 forks and five contributors. Given that the project is quite niche I am still a bit blown away by this level of popularity. At the same time I am also happy that it's not too popular as it keeps the maintenance overhead manageable... Thanks for the support and onward to further organic and sustainable growth!

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.
