Haha, great job. There's also something to be said for the grim humour of how technology led us to this point.
Sadly, I'd also be extremely wary of sending the kind of documents that I need to print out and sign through some server-side black box.
- baicunko 6y agoThanks, I totally agree. That's why I made the code public so you can see what's being run. A friend very privacy-minded told me maybe a desktop app could be used by those who don't want to upload their documents so that's something I'm currently exploring
- secfirstmd 6y agoYep an easy to download cross-platform Desktop App would be awesome. Or building it into pandoc
- ganstyles 6y agoThis is very cool, I have the same concern. Most documents I need to scan like this have my PHI or PII on them and I wouldn't trust uploading to a third party, and especially free, site. What I will add to the conversation is that seeing the source code and trusting that you're running that exact code are different thing. Would love to see this as something I could run locally after cloning the repo, as a python or npm script or some. Very cool work overall!
- hunter2_ 6y ago> made the code public so you can see what's being run The thing is, sharing a repository does not prove that the server is running that same code. And someone worried about their document security wouldn't run some random binary locally either, because it could send the document off to a server. They would run the source code locally after reading it, which sharing the repository allows for.
- iak8god 6y agoI was in need of this recently, and found that an ImageMagick one-liner can do the job quite nicely: https://gist.github.com/andyrbell/25c8632e15d17c83a54602f6acde2724 https://gist.github.com/andyrbell/25c8632e15d17c83a54602f6ac...
