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 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
|
2018-02-03 15:26:09 +00:00
|
|
|
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
|
2018-02-03 15:26:09 +00:00
|
|
|
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.
