  • Paperless-ngx does include OCR, as well as supporting document types (which can have fields, etc) - but there is no built-in way to intelligently extract field values. You can use the python API to access & update the data and fields. So field extraction via your own code is feasible.

    Given the large variety in receipt layout & potential for habdwritten totals after tips - I’d encourage part of your workflow to include manual ispection/correction of every processed receipt - or at the bare minimum that you include check-in points where you verify your end balances 100% match after all transactions have been entered, so you can detect & root-cause errors ASAP.







  • Thanks!

    Telemetry: I was able to find it, but it was already disabled. Maybe i noticed and unchecked it when I initially setup.

    Donate button: Ah, I see where you mean. Interestingly I do not see it when accessing from my mobile device, either as a mobile site or requesting a desktop site. But when accessing it from a desktop browser I do see it in the bottom left.

    A quick test shows ublock origin can block the element from showing. I believe that even if the user donates, it is not sufficient to hide this button, and the user must opt to pay for Kavita+ which is a subscription, not a one time license/etc, and forgoing it may lock other features a user is interested in.

    I learned to use linux decently in school. Used it for servers, etc at home.

    Windows had its auto updatee, and eventually drove me mad enough to dual boot. When the updates started crash boot loops and I literally couldn’t use it anymore… I finally swore off Windows.

    Its not all sunshine and rainbows, but i have had a much better time woth Lonux, and feel much better about it.

    Looking at all the sheisty things theyve talked about and/or attempted, such as screen recording everything for AI, contemplating ads in file explorer, forced one drive integration slowing basic operations down… I have no desire whatsoever to return.




    • Access to my entire music library remotely
    • A directory structure view, rather than just Album/Artist/Genre views
    • Transcoding while streaming to minimize mobile data usage
    • Syncing parts of my library for offline usage

    FWIW, you can partially hit most of these with Navidrome with another frontend. I like using Symfonium (android) which allows local downloading, and has a directory view. I don’t think it would work offline though for the directory view. I don’t know about caching/downloading on desktop though; feishin is my favorite desktop frontend, but I don’t think it has a DL/play from DL feature.

    The above is only partial. Thank you for your work and sharing. I think the discouraging comments miss that this was a passion project of yours to fill your own use case. Good work!








  • Does anyone have current recommendations for an alternative to nextcloud file syncing/sharing?

    I use it only for the below:

    • synchronize some files/folders between some of my devices
    • share files/folders with friends who don’t have an account; either with no password/account, or a password set at time of sharing
      • temporary/timed sharing so it is eventually no longer shared is nice, but not required
    • use its webui like dropbox to upload files to my server from random machines (or download them)

    And for that, nextcloud seems to be overkill.
