I agree with the other comments here that you're better off just hosting it yourself. Though, if you go down the path of considering commercial services check out y.gy (note: I'm affiliated). It would allow you to see where people are clicking from (Twitter, Reddit, etc.) and where they are clicking (city-level). It _could_ be useful depending on your traction.

dang: Your about bio says "Conflict is essential to human life, whether between different aspects of oneself, between oneself and the environment, between different individuals or between different groups" and that is exactly what is happening here. It's a fruitful discussion with a lot of nuance and yes, disagreement. Nothing here seems against guidelines

Hm -- don't think this is the case for legacy industries. It's just what they're used to and have been doing for years

What is an example of this? I don't work in real estate, but just based on the # of OCR companies for B2B PDF data extraction, I would imagine it's still a huge problem.

But they want to pay extra for expensive OCR software to parse it out instead?

Thanks for responding. I'm curious why PDF doesn't have any metadata attached to it that can easily be parsed out by machines. Sigh

Shouldn't both exist? I.e. PDF for the human and data for the machine?
Why do we convert structured data to PDFs?
Company A has structured data. They input this into a PDF (making it unstructured) and send it to Company B. Company B now has to use PDF parsing software to turn it back into structured data.Why?

I've never stored code on Dropbox. What's the use case for that? Why not store it only on Github?

Re:Fast.Ink: Turn PDFs into Processes
on Wednesday January 11, 2023 @10:48AM (#34339745)
I spent the last 3 months talking to businesses in regulatory spaces (healthcare, fintech, etc.) and realized how manual paperwork processes can be. It's often sent over email, error-prone and when multiple stakeholders are involved, gets messy. I want to build a solution to improve it and have built a quick landing page to gauge which part of the paperwork process people are most frustrated with.
Would love any feedback or thoughts! Thanks :)

If you have a one-time PDF that has to be signed, would you self-host to get it done? My hunch is that open-source solutions may only be useful to businesses. Wdyt?
