Hi /c/opensource,

I am developing PdfDing - a selfhosted PDF manager, viewer and editor. You can find the repo here.

Today I reached a big milestone as PdfDing reached over 600 stars on github. A good portion of these stars probably comes from being included in the favorite selfhosted apps launched in 2024 on selfh.st.

Here is a quick overview over the project's features:

Seamless browser based PDF viewing on multiple devices. Remembers current position - continue where you stopped reading
Stay on top of your PDF collection with multi-level tagging, starring and archiving functionalities
Edit PDFs by adding annotations, highlighting and drawings
Clean, intuitive UI with dark mode, inverted color mode and custom theme colors
SSO support via OIDC
Share PDFs with an external audience via a link or a QR Code with optional access control
Markdown Notes
Progress bars show the reading progress of each PDF at a quick glance

As always I am happy if you star the repo or if someone wants to contribute.

I love the idea, is there a way to do tap/click to turn the page instead of continuous though? I’ve been looking for something similar to host sheet music for myself but continuous mode is non-workable for my admittedly niche use case.

You can select Page Fit in the Zoom drop down menu and then use the left and right arrow keys to jump between pages. This should give you the wanted functionality. It's not possible to do this with the mouse however.
