A SaaS for managing personal documents. The closest I have right now (not SaaS) is paperless-ng[0], but I have to self-host it, unless I missed a really compelling solution.

I have a sea of documents, both physical and electronic, and it's always a struggle to scan/organize/find them. I'd pay good money for a software/service that manages my documents, from scanning to archiving.

For anybody interested in paperless-ng, this is line 1 of their repo's readme:

This project is not dead! Rather, this project is now maintained as a community effort at https://github.com/paperless-ngx/paperless-ngx, a direct continuation of this project and drop-in replacement. Please see their project page and the documentation at https://docs.paperless-ngx.com/ for details.

I really like Paperless NGX, have been using it for some months now, mostly for scanned paper mail, I use [0]

Are you saying you would pay a service to host it all for you? or are you saying you want to just send all they physical documents to someone to scan and upload for you?

[khaledh]

No, not to host paperless-ng for me. I also don't mean send them physical documents. I'll be scanning the documents myself of course. I mean a hosted service that I can use from my desktop or phone to upload documents quickly. It should also provide integration with my email with the ability to add rules regarding certain email senders and converting email content to PDF where possible (for the cases where the sender doesn't provide a PDF attachment already).

Can you list features? This sounds like a good/quick microsaas idea, maybe we can team up on it. Any idea if others would pay for something like this? Am I right thinking the features are:

- Ability to upload docs (perhaps w/ multiple integrations, drive, dropbox, etc. - Imap connection to only temporarily read/store email to check the sender or content (possibly using some ai as well?) to then convert specific mails to pdf, etc, and configure further rules on what to do w/ these upload somewhere, email them to someone, run through zapier? - Would the ability to transcribe or describe what's in messages be valuable? I've worked on something like that to basically tag emails for marketing messages when 90% of the emails were an image/ad of a competitor.

Any other features that could be fast/easy but make this reach a wider audience 'need'?

It would be better to continue to explore the problem than to begin solutioning.
