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.

              Ah ok. I reread the information on the github readme and it said that "files will be deleted after 60 minutes". So I thought I could try uploading.
Yes. LibreWolf which is FireFox based. I do suggest using the download attribute though. People don't like changing settings for specific applications.
Coolio. Glad you are happy with the feedback.

I just tried using the download attribute out. I am also using librewolf and even with the download attribute it will open a new tab when the default behaviour (applications -> pdf -> open in librewolf) is enabled.

Do you have "Content-Disposition: attachment" setup for the downloads on the backend?

Your issue might just be that it automatically opens it in LibreWolf again :P
