Project mention: Paperless-ngx: scan, index and archive all your physical documents | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-09-30paperless-ngx is successor of paperless and paperless-ng. Around that time I moved to https://teedy.io which is also opensource https://github.com/sismics/docs and also support ldap.
I've been itching to give paperless-ngx a shot because I just love it but ldap hasn't yet ended up in the docs but the pull request was merged.
Regardless, I just love how this project just keeps coming back to life

I just had a crazy idea, I was working on this library, https://github.com/doshareme/dicky and wanted to integrate device to device transfer using sockets feature to https://github.com/doshareme/src which is a web app, so I think maybe with WASM, same lib can be utilized by Tauri app as well as web file sharing.
So, if you've ever worked with WASM, could you point me in the right direction.
