Feel like I've been seeing a lot of buzz about Paperless-ngx recently on this sub so I decided to try it out. So far it has worked out great for me. I am currently using my phone as the scanner since it's cheaper than buying a full on scanner right now. So I'm curious for those using your phones to scan documents and receipts into Paperless-ngx what scanner app do you believe to have the best OCR? Is it Microsoft lens, Google Lookout, Google Stack, Adobe PDF Scanner, Paperless mobile using ngx's built in OCR or some other app I don't know about?

Side question. Besides the what is probably a better flow of getting documents into Paperless-ngx by using one of the recommended dedicated scanners, does a scanner improve the performance/search function of Paperless-ngx?

I would like to build a very simple self hosted website that when users navigate to, they are greeted with a login page. Once logged in they see a list of applications available to them. What they see would be custom to their login. This way I can give one set of friends access to one set of applications that I self host, family access to another set and a different group of friends something else. What program would you recommend to do this?

At first I was thinking WordPress but it seems to require paid plugins to do this. Then I found Organizr but it seems to be too much for my user base. I'm looking for dead simple. Login see a list of icons in a nice format. Click icon. Takes you to the service I am self hosting. I feel like this shouldn't be that hard. Am I missing something? Bonus points if it can integrate with Plex's login system so they don't have to make another account.

Looking to purchase the HL15 and need a recommendation on HBA cards.
