Cooking a local AI version of PDF Reflow to show PDFs on mobile and keep all the look and feel (font, formulas, pictures, tables) yet formatted for a smaller screen.

It’s using a local YOLO detector trained specifically on detection pdf page regions.

The old version works and has many users who love it to read scientific papers, but its heuristics based and was in my opinion failing on edge cases that this new AI approach solves.

I'm building a tool that helps small volunteer orgs. manage their property/facility. Something to replace the filing cabinet, text threads and email inboxes that get lost when your volunteer treasurer or retired admin moves on. Specifically building for my wife and I to take care of our house and for our small church who manages a building. The idea is you take a picture of the plumbers invoice, forward the insurance policy, or write down the last time the roof was inspected all in one place. Most CMMS are too heavy for a small org. and having "that one guy" setup a process is too brittle. https://www.myplacekeeper.com/

4 years later and I'm still working on ntfy. Trying to make push notifications easy as pie. I would have never thought that it would blow up like this. It's still a lot of fun, and I've learned a lot. Thanks everyone for your support and for your amazing ideas and contributions. Open source is awesome. HN ist awesome. https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy

So many notifications - my life would be a mess without them :-) Thank you!
