Indie dev behind #FairScan — an open source document scanner for Android. Exploring how software can be simple and respectful.
I wrote two blog posts that are a bit different from the previous ones.
They're less about FairScan itself, and more about why I work on it, and how I think about money.
Not the easiest things to write, but probably important ones.

FairScan 1.19.0 now lets you import existing photos into a scan. Especially useful when someone sends you a picture of a document instead of a proper scan.
@michael_jaeger Good catch! I created https://github.com/pynicolas/FairScan/issues/152 to track this issue. Thank you!
FairScan 1.15 and 1.16 improve automatic document detection and edge detection.
These updates make the automatic cropping more reliable across different kinds of documents.
I also wrote a short post about how FairScan turns a detected document into a clean quadrilateral, and why this step is trickier than it looks:

@blaufisch Sorry, I don't accept donations for now. Thanks for your support!
@blaufisch Thanks for your kind words! I don't feel comfortable accepting donations at the moment. If you want to support the project, the best way for now is to talk about it around you. Thank you.
