Umee Online

Transform PDFs

What it does

I built Umee PDF Pro because I needed to extract return tables from fund factsheets I kept running into the same wall: every tool either uploaded the file to a cloud server (not acceptable for client data) or couldn't detect the table structure reliably enough to be useful. So I built it myself. Started as a side project to solve my own workflow problem in finance. The table extraction engine took the longest. Now I'm opening it up. It's live at umee.online as a web app.

    How I built a SaaS thanks to my wife2025 · pdfbolt.com · ▲10

    I’m Michał, and I’d like to share with you the journey I went through with my wife and how, thanks to her, we built our first SaaS, PDFBolt (https://pdfbolt.com). I’ve been a developer for over 10 years. In 2020, I decided to build a side project to learn all aspects of app development—deployment, authentication, payments, frontend, landing pages, etc. While looking for project ideas, I came across the Indie Hackers community, where I found a simple HTML to PDF API project. The creator mentioned a lot of interest in it and that it was generating revenue. I thought I’d build…

    Built a tool solve the nightmare of chunking tables in PDF vs. MarkdownNov 2025 · github.com · ▲15

    Hey HN, solo dev here. After years of frustration with how LLMs handle complex documents, especially PDFs with tables, I decided to build a solution myself. My approach uses a Markdown conversion step to preserve the table structure, which seems to work surprisingly well for chunking. This little parser is the first public piece of a much larger, privacy-focused AI platform I'm building. I'm pretty much running on fumes financially, so any feedback, critique, or support is massively appreciated. Happy to answer any questions about the approach!

    22+ years as a Software engineer/programmer. For a reason that only life can explain, in the last 8 years i went from Adobe Flash Specialist to owning a small solar installation business and a small electric and plumbing materials. o.O We had a problem every time that we had to resupply or shop for new goods. In Brazil, things are manual in B2B and restricted to PDF Quotations/Proforma negotiations. Nobody has ecommerce, only the middlemen that resell what they buy from the factory with their margins on top. For better margins, direct from the factory is the way to go. Long story…

    With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
