how this compare with https://github.com/Stirling-Tools/Stirling-PDF ?
i have this hosted, should i switch?
It depends on you use case. Stirling PDF focuses on performing various operations like splitting, cropping and rotating on your PDFs. PdfDing has a different focus, it is all about reading and organizing your PDFs. I started this project because I wanted a web app where I can read longer PDFs seamlessly on my desktop and mobile devices.
The newly added editing features were implemented with the aim of improving the reading experience. If I find something important I can add an annotation or highlight something. When studying you can add free hand notes to your files.
I hope that helps in differentiating the two applications.
very cool, are you planning an android app?
It is not planned right now as I never developed an android app before. But who knows, I am also not a frontend dev, yet here we are :D
I am planning on developing a Rest API, hopefully I can do this in such a way that someone from community is able to create a mobile application.
I nowadays I don't see much benefit of dedicated Android apps in these cases (clients of hosted content). If your webapp works well for mobile browsers than making it a pwa is not much more than adding a single file and it feels pretty native to me. So you safe tons of development work. Or am I missing on something?
