The official website is https://bentopdf.com/ not what's on the link.

How does compare to SterlingPDF? Any reason to migrate (selfhosted)?

[–] smiletolerantly@awful.systems 3 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Yes. Completely open source (not open core) and every action happens in-browser. With Stirling, you send the doc to the server.

Also, Stirling had long-winded whining about their tracking pixel, Bento initially had something similar (but more privacy-friendly) and when asked about it immediately removed it without fuss.

Why is it so hard to find a link to a github page? Is it even https://github.com/alam00000/bentopdf ? Also, the official website is https://bentopdf.com/ , not what the OP posted.

[–] smiletolerantly@awful.systems 1 points 4 days ago

Yes, your links are both correct.

If I'm hosting Stirling myself, I don't mind it being sent to the server obviously. Being fully open source of course is a big plus.

Privacy first, but there is a file uploader? WTF?

They promise the file never leaves my device, but is there any way to verify it?
