Paperless is a simple Django application running in two parts:
|
|
|
|
|
a :ref:`consumer <utilities-consumer>` (the thing that does the indexing) and
|

|
|
|
the :ref:`webserver <utilities-webserver>` (the part that lets you search & download
|
2017-11-01 11:15:37 +00:00
|
|
|
already-indexed documents). If you want to learn more about its functions keep on

|
reading after the installation section.

Why This Exists

Paper is a nightmare. Environmental issues aside, there's no excuse for it in
|
|
|
|
|
the 21st century. It takes up space, collects dust, doesn't support any form of
|
|
|
|
|
a search feature, indexing is tedious, it's heavy and prone to damage & loss.

I wrote this to make "going paperless" easier. I do not have to worry about
|
|
|
|
|
finding stuff again. I feed documents right from the post box into the scanner and
|

|
|
|
then shred them. Perhaps you might find it useful too.
