I have two projects related to documents which I follow. One is rmfakecloud to get and organize documents on my rM.
The other one is paperless-ngx which basically allows me to throw any paper I receive in a scanner adding them as highly optimized PDF with OCR into a database.
Even more, paperless-ngx uses bayesian filters to tag documents based on the content and indexing to search extremely fast through documents.

Albeit both projects seems to have not much in common, the basic idea, storing PDFs is the same. From a practical point of view they have in common that there is a high chance that I need to have the same document in both systems.

My proposal would be to check out how paperless-ngx and rmfakecloud could potentially work together.
An interesting concept would be that all documents which I tag with "remarkable" (which can happen not only manual but by rules) would appear on my remarkable.
That would allow to create a version of rmfakecloud which doesn't need any frontend "just" syncing documents between paperless-ngx and the rM.

The other direction would be interesting too, adding a tag on the rM, rmfakecloud could add it to the paperless ngx database.
paperless-ngx comes already with a rest API, which would require some extensions to allow rmfakecloud to access all relevant data.
There are some larger open question like where to save the remarkable related information, etc.
Another point would be that paperless ngx consider the documents archived forever and currently do not have any versioning system included. Something which is needed to enable to change documents on the rM and sync them back.

So I am aware that this proposal is not a simple task but I feel many rM owner could live the dream of a complete paper free office, if this two projects join forces at that point.
