OSS lets you take your time.

For example, paperless-ngx was already an absolute ball of mud, and now there’s a new major version that’s somehow even worse.

I’m just not upgrading. It’s behind a VPN, I control what files it can ingest, so it’s okay if it’s old.

I’m looking at a few alternatives and I’ll switch when they are mature and when I have the time, but there’s essentially no deadline.
