Paperworks

@mrolovsson Well, the #1 reason for building it was because I myself hate dealing with "paperwork" and I couldn't find a good solution for it. Honestly, I have no idea if other people suffer from the same issue... But that's why I wanted to build a super quick MVP and put it out in the wild :) If it gains some decent traction (i.e. problem/solution validation) then I'll definitely build out more features. There are already a couple that I feel I need for my own usecase (like dropbox/gdrie syncing).

@pqvst thanks for the reply. For sure many others suffer the same. Keeping my fingers crossed they find Paperworks, so we can all enjoy more features and a problem solved :-)

@pqvst This is just great! Can we have more than 1 year history please? :)

@rberrehili Should be possible once I finish some backend optimizations. Feel free to add more details here: https://github.com/pqvst/paperwo...

@pqvst Great! The thing is I need to go through my old invoices in 2014 for this week ;) I go check the github!

@rberrehili In case you didn't notice, I've extended the max history to 36 months in the pro plan now. I hope that helps.

@pqvst Great!

@keirwilliams Hmm, I haven't really thought about that yet. Do you have a particular use case in mind (other than making it mobile friendly)?

@pqvst Scanning physical receipts and invoices comes to mind.

@keirwilliams Ah yes, that would definitely take the product to the next level :)

@pqvst @keirwilliams yup!

@blrbalam Awesome suggestions. Do you mean a link at the bottom of emails you receive that allow you to tag them as "paperwork"? It's an interesting idea - not sure how to solve that though #thinking...

@pqvst Yes right. In all signatures who use Paper work. it can't be set for all people. still you can encourage people who use the app.

@pqvst @blrbalam You could solve this with a chrome extension that 1) adds a one-click button to each incoming email, 2) for outgoing, bcc a custom email, capture w/ mailgun etc, and auto-convert to PDF on your backend, with a public link you can auto-add to the signature line

@onedurr @pqvst nice

@blrbalam @onedurr Hmm yeah, I like the idea of using a chrome extension!

@allthingsmarco Yeah, so in the medium story I outline some future ideas that I'd like to build. I mention that I would like to add deeper insights (to extract price/amount) and this could definitely be combined with a "send a monthly statement" (with pdfs of all the invoices) feature. Automatic sync to dropbox/gdrive is probably the thing I personally need the most. So that it just automatically adds new receipts to my accounting folder. The goal would be a service that just runs automatically in the background so you don't have to worry about logging into yet another service. I had to limit the scope for the sake of trying to build an mvp in one week :D

@pqvst thank you for clarifying. sorry i didn't read your post :/

@denull I'm not familiar with Xero. In what sense? Like to send invoices/receipts directly to Xero?

@pqvst another idea. Many accounting apps (like Xero, which I use) have an email address where you can forward receipts. If in addition to the save button was a button that would PDF, name the file usefully and send to a predefined email address this would tick boxes for many users!

@danjames26 Ah! That's a really good idea. Also, that makes the integration much easier. Perhaps step 1 is a button to forward. step 2 would be to setup automatic forwarding

@flowsion I have just pushed an update that should increase the max number of emails that can be scanned. Keep in mind that the initial release only scans "last 30 days" OR "this month" OR "last month" - depending on what you select.

@pqvst sick, thanks :)
