Show HN: Search PDFs in the browser using PDFgrep compiled to WebAssembly

4 pointsby rawshabout 2 years ago
pdfgrep.org is a CLI tool I use a lot to reference documents from classes. I’ve been playing around with Emscripten and I wanted to make a UI version of the tool. All documents stay local so there is no upload time, and search time is similar to the native binary. Click on a search result to open a preview of the PDF. Any feedback would be much appreciated. Dockerfile source code: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;rawsh&#x2F;pdfgrep-wasm">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;rawsh&#x2F;pdfgrep-wasm</a>
