    I fear that early access will kill this. Sure it will provide some money that might pay for the rest of the development, but streamers will play it now - der that it is literally work in progress in vast parts and maybe take another look once it finally releases, but the hype will be gone at the release.

    I am thankful for any input. Maybe it helps someone else looking for a similar thing.

    I think the collaborative part means sending PDFs from user to user and maintaining the ability to edit annotations. That may work for many use cases - a lot of businesses may be fine with that when email is still the communication medium of choice.

    That’s not an option unfortunately. The actual use case is a non-profit sports club magazine which needs to be proof read by several people at the same time. There is a fixed release date and only a few days to proof read the PDF before it needs to be sent to print.

    I have an installation of Stirling PDF, but in my short experiment it had no ability to collaborate on the same document.

    Every edit created a new copy of the document downloaded to the user. The annotations weren’t tagged to the individual user and sending different versions of a PDF from user to user is not what I am looking for.

    Stirling is a single user software in that regards. I haven’t tested the also mentioned BentoPDF but I suspect it to be the same as it is also trying to be a PDF toolbox like Acrobat. PdfDing has a slightly different approach it might be an option if OnlyOffice does not work out.









  • Answering the easy dumb questions is now done by AI pretty good. I would say even better because the AI does not care about flagging your question for duplicate or mocking you for not being precise.

    StackOverflow needs to refocus on those questions not answered by AI easily. They need to adjust their business to fewer questions that need thorough investigation and specialist solutions. That is a hard thing to do with only volunteers to answer these questions, so maybe they need to switch to a paid model which pays the correctly flagged answer a cut of the fee…




  • Do you really need that DDoS protection? I have been having my own webserver for decades now hosting public sites and I have only once been in the position that my server was not reachable because of a DDoS attack. And even then the attack was not targeted at my server but at my hosting provider at that time. Everything else was handled by fail2ban easily…
