Hi selfhosted community,

I am pleased to announce the release v1.5.0 of PdfDing. PdfDing is a selfhosted PDF manager, viewer and editor offering a seamless user experience on multiple devices. It's designed be to be minimal, fast, and easy to set up using Docker. You can find the repository here.

Important: Before updating, make sure to take a backup! The internal changes in this release are quite substantial and while everything is thoroughly tested, problems could still arise when performing the migrations.

The highlight of this release is the introduction of workspaces and collections. Compared to the already present tag system, they offer way greater flexibility and take the management of your PDFs to the next level. Implementing these features was quite the work as the changes required a lot of refactoring and rewriting of the existing logic. This resulted in over 70 new commits (out of a total 500), so this is by far the most for a single release. I am very pleased with the result and you hopefully too.

Furthermore, the popularity of the project keeps growing continually. We have now over 1500 Stars on github, almost 200k image pulls, over 80 forks and five contributors. Given that the project is quite niche I am still a bit blown away by this level of popularity. At the same time I am also happy that it's not too popular as it keeps the maintenance overhead manageable... Thanks for the support and onward to further organic and sustainable growth!

I have lots (100s?) of pdfs for ttrpg rules collected over years - storing in folders is enough to separate by game, but fails when a single book is a mix of content - does it go in the adventure, character options or DM folder?

Having a nice UI with tags and searching would help to organise the collection a lot better.

Accessing all of that across any of my devices while the files actually live on my NAS would a be a big improvement - its easy for my laptop & tablet to get out of sync etc
