I updated the app to allow manual add/delete of pages. Then tap the page and do New Image to upload per page. Thanks for the feedback!

Thanks! I have not tried anything other than English, not sure how good the LLMs are for that. Did you use Tesseract or Gemini?

Once the page structure is set up from the images (via the directory upload), you can upload new images for each page, but I didn't include an option to just create all the pages manually. It's a good idea. Going to add that...

coincidentally, posted this over on Show HN today. OCR workbench, AI OCR & editing tools for OCRing old / hard documents. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43976450. Tesseract works fine for modern text documents, but it fails badly on older docs (e.g. colonial american, etc)

Those of us "of a certain age" are grateful not to look at a screen of 30 videos, all of them illegible because our eyes are old :)

Depends a bit on what you want to accomplish.

I use Jekyll/Minimal Mistakes/Github pages for product blogs, where I just want to broadcast information or have it available for people to find through search, and where I need to own and brand the domain name itself.

I use Substack for a few projects where I want a stronger relationship with the audience - commenting, automatic email list building and distribution, and easy/attractive formatting. I just keep the Substack free, and don't worry about the domain name (x.substack.com) is fine.
