I want to introduce PdfDing to this community. PdfDing is a PDF manager and viewer that you can host yourself. It offers a seamless user experience on multiple devices. It's designed be to be minimal, fast, and easy to set up using Docker. The repo can be found here. Features include:

Seamless browser based PDF viewing on multiple devices
Dark Mode, colored themes and custom theme colors
Inverted color mode for reading PDFs
Remembers current position - continue where you stopped reading
SSO support via OIDC
Share PDFs with an external audience via a link or a QR Code
Shared PDFs can be password protected and access can be controlled with a maximum number of views and an expiration date
Automated and encrypted backups to S3 compatible storage

I would be very happy if you wold give PdfDing a try. If you like it, be sure to leave a star :)

Yes, you could see it like that. I actually started developing PdfDing after I did not find any ebook reader that fulfilled all of my requirements.
