Inspiration
My father, a government officer, often struggles with managing his documents. This inspired me to create a solution that simplifies document management for him and others facing similar challenges.
What it does
DocuMane is a lightweight PDF editor and management system designed to help users easily manage, edit, and securely store their PDF files. It offers a user-friendly interface with features tailored for both registered and unregistered users.
How we built it
DocuMane was developed using Next.js for the frontend and Express.js for the backend. We integrated cloud storage solutions and used MongoDB for our database to ensure efficient and secure handling of PDF files.
Challenges we ran into
One significant challenge was determining how to store PDFs for both registered and unregistered users. Unregistered users have access to their PDFs for only 1 hour, whereas registered users can access their files for 30 days. Implementing this differentiation required careful planning and execution to balance user convenience with security.
What we learned
Throughout the development of DocuMane, we gained valuable insights into cloud storage and tackled various privacy concerns. This experience enhanced our understanding of secure document handling and user data protection.
What's next for DocuMane
Our next step is to develop Android and iOS applications for DocuMane. This will enable users to manage and edit their PDFs on the go, providing greater flexibility and convenience.
