I have a dream... that one day people will name their projects with names that don't exist on google yet. If you search for PEP now you'll find python enhancement proposals, and the "Philippine Entertainment Portal" and the stock code for PepsiCo.

Yeah but urls and names might need to change due to marketing. A hash would uniquely id the project and let the marketing aspect be dynamic. Although if the actual project name, authors, and codebase changes is it even still the same project?
Then maybe what really needs to happen is we burn all marketers in a pyre? So they quit fucking up things that ain’t fucked up?

8 bit ascii could work. 8^256 is a huge number.
A 256 bit number is 2^256 possible combinations. 8^256 is the same as (2^3)^256 (or 2^768)
8 character ascii not 8 bit.
It's early.
That's 8 bits ^ 8.
Or 256 ^ 8.
and easily able to be represented searching online with 8 characters.
A GUI app for manually crafting PDFs is one thing, but a library instead would enable countless developers to create software capable of producing PDF deliverables as output, possibly improving the accessibility situation too. I would gladly sponsor the development of a reliable library that allows to programmatically produce compliant, accessible tagged PDFs with arbitrary layout[0], correctly printable and viewable…
Hi, developer of a PDF scanning app for macOS (PDFScanner) here. I always toyed with the idea of developing a PDF engine from scratch but the spec scares me. Kudos for being that brave! Just curious: Why did you choose Objective-C for a new lib?
Helllo, good question, and the answer is simple, I am more familiar with Objective-C and I get used to it.
The one problem I consistently have with PDF forms on the Mac is an inability to change the font size in text fields. My work even pays for me to have the professional Adobe suite and that specific functionality doesn't exist. If someone could solve this problem I would probably give them some money.

A name that doesn't exist on google? So what exactly would that be? It is very obvious if you google "pdf pep" python enhancement proposals or pepsi is not going to show up. Naming is hard, I have a dream that people would stop complaining about it. There is names/acronyms for literally everything, the chance of you finding something unique is very very small.
Yep, naming is hard. And I like the name Wine most. (Wine is not emulator) Thank you for understanding. :)

PEP is also "Politically exposed person" in anti money launcering circles, and often the lists we get are PDFs. Seems like PEP is used for more things too :)
