The point I'm (badly) trying to make it is that my intuition tells me very few companies will actually pick up and adopt software like this. If they do, there might be many nuances in their process and they might find the versioning easier to do with simple duplicate Notion/Office/GDocs parent templates.

#103I wonder why Hermes doesn't handle files by itself instead (or in addition) of relying on Google?
Algolia search is a tough decision, because it means instant "no go" for projects with confidential data.

Oh absolutely, anybody who implements a nice wrapper on google drive with FTS and tagging and hierarchical ordering will be something I will strongly support my org to buy
Looked to see if something like this exists?

It seems like it manages some metadata around google docs, but google docs is doing all the heavy lifting (creating/editing/sharing documents). Which begs the question, why? By titling itself as a document management system I would assume it would be something like paperless-ngx[0] or mayan edms[1]. The latter of which has a built in workflow system[2]. But by being tied to google docs you can't really self host the…
I just put up a paperless-ngx system at home in docker. its amazingly simple and easy to use. It's rapidly becoming my fav self hosted service. Now you get my backlog of documents scanned and destroyed.

The hardest part of documents within a business is not producing documents but rather creating a useful library. Google Docs is a place where great documents go to die. Notion’s success (for example) is more about it making it possible to create a useable library of documents than it is about being an editor with neat widgets. I don’t know if Hermes is going to be particularly successful given it’s competing with thi…
I have lost count the number of times I’ve searched for a doc in Google drive and found nothing. It’s shockingly bad given that Google literally is a SEARCH company.

#109The single, killer feature I'm looking for in a document management system (besides collaborative environment that we're used to from gdocs) is a way to stamp versions and have those be reviewed independently, with git like diffs across them. Think gerrit for docs.
Re: Hermes: An open-source document management system
#110I read through the project as I worked with several document storage solution before and still lookin for an ideal solution. Filenet is horribly overpriced from IBM, Alfresco looks nice but have serious performance issues (my experience is from 2020), SharePoint is only nice if everything is Microsoft... Apache Oak is an abandoned project with a lot of things that seems to be in it but didnt get finished (e.g. CMIS p…
