Show HN: A Dead Simple Parser

3 pointspankaj92965mo ago5 comments

I built a PDF/Images parser that is ultra simple, just like your email inbox. upload document, see data. no configuration, no setup, no headaches. even your mom can use it.

This is my first side project so any feedback would be helpful.

Your "manual work" estimate of 30 minutes to copy and paste data from a PDF file is insane.

that's real data from real users. most of the PDF files are just scanned copies or photos, with line items ranging from 10-50 per invoice. that takes a lot of time for data entry and it's boring.

With 30 items, that's 60 seconds per line. Not really plausible.
