PdfDing v.1.5.0 - workspaces + collections, 1500+ Stars and almost 200k image pulls - Lemmy.World
Hi selfhosted community, I am pleased to announce the release v1.5.0 of PdfDing.
PdfDing is a selfhosted PDF manager, viewer and editor offering a seamless user
experience on multiple devices. It’s designed be to be minimal, fast, and easy
to set up using Docker. You can find the repository here
[https://github.com/mrmn2/PdfDing]. Important: Before updating, make sure to
take a backup! The internal changes in this release are quite substantial and
while everything is thoroughly tested, problems could still arise when
performing the migrations. The highlight of this release is the introduction of
workspaces and collections. Compared to the already present tag system, they
offer way greater flexibility and take the management of your PDFs to the next
level. Implementing these features was quite the work as the changes required a
lot of refactoring and rewriting of the existing logic. This resulted in over 70
new commits (out of a total 500), so this is by far the most for a single
release. I am very pleased with the result and you hopefully too. Furthermore,
the popularity of the project keeps growing continually. We have now over 1500
Stars on github [https://github.com/mrmn2/PdfDing], almost 200k image pulls,
over 80 forks and five contributors. Given that the project is quite niche I am
still a bit blown away by this level of popularity. At the same time I am also
happy that it’s not too popular as it keeps the maintenance overhead manageable…
Thanks for the support and onward to further organic and sustainable growth!

[https://lemmy.world/post/39382593] > Hi c/selfhosted, > > I am the creator of
PdfDing [https://github.com/mrmn2/PdfDing] and in the spirit of the season I
will match your donations to open source projects.The past year has been a good
year, both personally and for PdfDing. The project’s popularity kept steadily
rising to around 1.4k stars on github and 150k image pulls. Additionally,it is
receiving a grant from the NGI Zero Commons Fund
[http://nlnet.nl/news/2025/20251016-selection-NGI0CommonsFund.html]. Given that
and that I feel like I don’t give back enough to the awesome open source
projects I use, I will match your donations under the following rules: > > - In
total I will donate up to 500$. > - For every donator I will match up to 10$. I
want to animate as many people as possible to donate to their favorite projects
and by using this cap I can match at least 50 donations. Obviously, you can
still donate more than 10$ :) > - You can donate to open source projects of your
liking (except your own projects). However it would be cool to not only see big
projects like Immich receiving donations. > - In turn I’ll donate to open source
projects of my choice. These projects will be: 1. Projects that I use in my
private and professional life, 2. Projects that are a dependency of PdfDing or
somehow helped/inspired its development. Obviously, I will NOT donate to any
projects I am affiliated with. > - In order to save fees I might combine
donations. Example: one user donate 3$, another 2$ and yet another 5$. I’ll
combine these 3 donations to a single 10$ donation. > - I will post screenshots
or links as proof my donations. > - You will need to post a screenshot or a link
as proof of your donations. I will post my proof as a reply. > - I will do a
similar post on the self-hosted community on reddit. The 500$ I will match are
both for reddit and lemmy. > > As people usually want a short description about

PdfDing Update: Signatures, dedicated website + docs

PdfDing Update: Signatures, dedicated website + docs - Lemmy.World
Hi /c/selfhosted, just a quick update regarding PdfDing
[https://github.com/mrmn2/PdfDing] as this was one of the most requested
features. I am pleased to announce that PdfDing now has support for adding
signatures to PDFs. The signatures are stored on the server, so they can be
accessed from any device. Fun fact: As some of you know PdfDing is receiving a
grant from the NGI Zero Commons Fund. By chance the signature on the grant
memorandum was the first real signature with PdfDing. In addition to this,
PdfDing now has a dedicated website [https://www.pdfding.com/] and documentation
[https://docs.pdfding.com/]. As a non frontend dev I still feel like I have no
idea what I am doing with regards to the frontend, so it’s a mind boggling that
I have now created a web app and a website that I find aesthetically pleasing.
Obviously, it has been a big help to take inspiration from the design of many
other great self-hosted apps. PdfDing is selfhosted PDF manager, viewer and
editor offering a seamless user experience on multiple devices. It’s designed be
to be minimal, fast, and easy to set up using Docker. You can find the
repository [https://github.com/mrmn2/PdfDing] here. As always stars on github
are very welcome.

Hi c/programming, for quite some time I have been working on the open-source
project PdfDing - a selfhosted PDF manager, viewer and editor offering a
seamless user experience on multiple devices. You can find the repository here
[https://github.com/mrmn2/PdfDing]. As always I would be quite happy about a
star and you trying out the application. Last week PdfDing was selected to
receive a grant from the NGI Zero Commons Fund
[https://nlnet.nl/news/2025/20251016-selection-NGI0CommonsFund.html]. This fund
is dedicated to helping deliver, mature and scale new internet commons across
the whole technology spectrum and is amongst others funded by the European
Commission. The exact sum of the grant still needs to be discussed, but
obviously I am very stocked to have been selected and need to share it with the
community.

Hi c/Open Source, after quiet 6 months I am back with great news about PdfDing.
I am very happy to announce that PdfDing is receiving a grant from the NGI Zero

obviously I am very stocked to have been selected in this funding round as one
of the few projects that can be selfhosted. It’s also great timing, because the
past half year has been very busy both in my private and professional life, but
in the coming months I finally have time again to continue improving PdfDing.
