This took quite a while to get ready but I do believe it prevents 99.9% of the theft cases mentioned. I am downloading it right now.

I have to admit that Tom Davies is quite fun to watch actually. His guesses are really extraordinary

This should be ilegal.

This is something that I find really interesting. Open-source OCR is lagging behing commercial applications and seeing someone trying ideas is always beneficial. Kudos!!

Agree. I'm getting tired of everyone saying that everything in the 90's was super duper fast and now everything is sluggish with RAM-hoarding tendencies

This is something that the average user fails to understand. One thing is saying I don't care they check on what I visit but once you aggregate enough information, it can become something of a "Big Brother".

With enough DNS data I can assure you I can see when you leave to work, get back, determine the moment when you leave for vacation and no one is home, etc.

Sure! I tried to simulate the print, sign and scan of documents to avoid having to do it.

EDIT: Forgot to mention that a before and after will be included in the website as it has been mentioned multiple times as a great way of showing what the website does!

This is a great idea of showing something that is at first very complex. Could be used in Discreet Mathematics to teach students!

Yes, I think it's a great idea. I'll work on this through the weekend and update the website with other feedback received. Thanks

Not at all, I'm actually quite happy with all the comments, ideas and feedback I've received on this, really encourages me to keep improving the project

I will implement a desktop stand-alone app for those private documents which can't be uploaded somewhere else!

I like to think this solution is way more friendly than using terminal for 99% of people. What others have suggested is to develop a stand-alone app for more private documents which can't be sent somewhere else

No worries I think it's great that everyone is voicing their comments. Also, thanks for the PR, will check them later once everything is more normal!

I just use my regular Good Notes 5 app and then export back the PDF

When I tested using only IM I was getting 3x file size. I will further test your command to see how this improves the current situation, thanks!!

I'm taking notes on all comments, I will test what you mentioned to see how the document ends up looking, thanks!

I'd recommend GS after ImageMagick as IM will hugely increase the size of the output due to rasterization!

In summary you could say yes but I wanted to simplify the process for the not-so-techy person. I will work on a Standalone app that simplifies the command and shows a nice GUI for more private documents

thanks! took me quite a while to prepare as I read a bunch of other servers failing catastrophically when posting on HN due to the sheer amount of traffic.

I will start working on your comments throughout the weekend, I agree with most of them. Would love for you to follow the github page for any other comments you may have, all are appreciated

I thought someone might want to share their document with someone else. I may include in a future release a max number of downloads (i.e. 2 or 30 minutes and then delete)

I will check regarding artifact. Also someone else mentioned to add random rotational tilt per page to ensure it looks more "legit"

I will include a more in-depth deployment process in Github to simplify implementing this by anyone

Great idea, I will probably include your gist in the original GitHub mentioning you

Thank you for the comments. I agree with you, I will decrease how long the file is in the server (I just hit 40gb from hacker news) as well as implement rate limiting to prevent any brute force

Thank you!

I'm adding this to the pending in GitHub, great idea

Thanks! I will implement this once the traffic from HackerNews decreases a bit (server is getting totally hammered).

Still there's no admin user configured so it's safe

I manually modified the private key on the server before publishing here. Still learning on ENV VARIABLES and I couldn't make them work!

Seems OK on my side. What are you seeing?

Fixed. Sorry, forgot to configure nginx.
