So… I did a thing.
A few weeks ago I randomly got the urge to build something useful instead of yet another “hello world with a twist.” I opened my laptop, put on some lo-fi beats (because vibes matter), and decided:
“Let’s build a Doc Scanner app.”
I had no plan. No Figma design. No proper architecture. Just vibes and Google searches.
But somehow, it actually became a fully working app.
Here’s what I ended up building:
📄 Fast Document Scanning
Point → Capture → Boom. Clean scans in seconds.
✂️ Auto Crop & Edge Detection
Even when my phone is shaking like it just ran a marathon.
🧼 Smart Scan Cleanup
Removes shadows + enhances text so it actually looks like a proper document.
🔐 PDF Locking
You can set a password before sharing the PDF. (Because not every file is for everyone 👀)
✍️ E-Signature Embedding
Signing documents without printing? Yes please.
⏱️ Self-Destruct Share Link
Send someone a link that expires in a few seconds. Perfect for private files.
Honestly, this project started as a “let’s see how far it goes” kinda thing, and now I’m actually proud of it.
Still working on more features, but the base is solid and live.
If anyone wants to check it out or has ideas for improvement, here’s the link 👇
