#2Really interesting project.
The source code seems to be on sourceforge.net. I site once important, but now when I see it I either think "the project is most-likely dead" or "can this project be legit? Am I getting malware here?"

This is such a sad thing for me. When I was a kid, Sourceforge.net is where I would always go first to look for software, because I knew that it was a reputable host and that open-source projects participated in a culture of greater respect for users than most freeware projects demonstrate.

Not saying anything from 2018 isn't valuable... I'm currently working on PDF scraping tools, and my lord, the stuff we're left to work with is abysmal... this could be state of the art.

SourceForge literally looks like one of those your-free-filez.ru style movie sites with all the fake download buttons. Same aesthetic. Just awful lol

#7Not to get all technical, but the "Cube Rule of Food" would classify this project as "pdftoast", not "pdfsandwich":

Sourceforge changed hands and as far as I can tell, the new owners put some effort into getting rid of all the crap and even into protecting users from crap added by the original authors.
Filezilla, for example, initially participated in SourceForge's adware program under the old owner, but after the owner change, actually provided a clean version on Sourceforge (while the version on the website was and still is adware-bundled).
