I updated the app to allow manual add/delete of pages. Then tap the page and do New Image to upload per page. Thanks for the feedback!

Thanks! I have not tried anything other than English, not sure how good the LLMs are for that. Did you use Tesseract or Gemini? Once the page structure is set up from the images (v…

OCR on old documents is hard. OCR Workbench uses AI for OCR and provides an editing environment to clean things up, as is inevitably required. Inspired by this Hacker News post: ht…

which books are we missing? want to take a look....thx.

Thanks. I can reproduce when I set "block sites from setting any data", caused by a 3rd party tool I use. I will have to figure some way to fix it. Thanks for reporting. In the mea…

Whoops. I use a 3rd party tool to manage user data and that requires access to local storage. I'll have to look into engineering that requirement out unless you have a user account…

Thank you this is great feedback. I agree with you the navbar is kind of a mess. I've got a code branch in progress to clean that up substantially. I'm a recovering executive remem…
