Field notes
The page exposes a complete scan workflow rather than a marketing mockup: users can import images, drag four page corners, choose Photo, Enhance, or Black & White cleanup, add and reorder pages, run OCR, and export a PDF. It describes a Rust core compiled to WebAssembly, reporting 138 KB gzipped over the wire and 80 core tests. Saved documents remain searchable in the browser, while native Android, iPhone, and iPad versions are described as works in progress.
