This is essentially a (vibe-coded?) wrapper around PaddleOCR: https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/PaddleOCR

The "guts" are here: https://github.com/majcheradam/ocrbase/blob/7706ef79493c47e8...

Most production software is wrappers around existing libraries. The relevant question is whether this wrapper adds operational or usability value, not whether it reimplements OCR. If there are architectural or reliability concerns, it’d be more useful to call those out directly.

Sure. The self host guide tells me to enter my github secret, in plain-text, in an env file. But it doesn't tell me why I should do that.

Do people actually store their secrets in plain text on the file system in production environments? Just seems a bit wild to me.

Claude is included in the contributors, so the OP didn’t hide it

At this point it feels like HN is becoming more like Reddit, most people upvote before actually checking the repo.
