Show HN: Codala, a social network built on scanning barcodeshttps://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hsynkrkye.codala&hl=enHi HN. I poured months into making a mobile app called Codala, but sadly, it's getting practically zero downloads. I have no marketing budget at all.I'm starting to question if the app is just bad, but the core idea feels solid to me: you scan any QR code or barcode, and it opens up a space to chat, leave reviews, and discuss that specific product or place.I know the app needs users leaving comments to feel alive, but it's been 3 weeks and things are dead quiet. If you want to take a look, I’m totally open to any feedback or honesty.It's only available on Google Play for nowMar 18, 2026 3:17 PM

Show HN: Enioka Scan 2.4, Zebra DataWedge support and camera improvementshttps://github.com/enioka-Haute-Couture/enioka_scan/releasesEnioka Scan is an open source Android library that makes the integration of barcode scanners in your Android applications easy while avoiding vendor lock-in.It provides a common layer of abstraction on top of a scanner's SDK, which is often specific to its vendor and sometimes proprietary, allowing the use of a single application and API to communicate with any compatible scanner.The library now has support for Zebra's DataWedge services, enabling compatibility with a wider range of Zebra scanning devices. Further improvements to the camera part of the API also make it easier to use your smartphone as a standalone scanner.Nov 17, 2023 8:56 AM

Ask HN: Good Paper(less) document management systemhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25830554I’m looking for a good, preferably open source document management system. Right now I ocr loads of PDFs that come in from my scanner up to a samba share with a custom script. Is there anything more powerful than that, perhaps with full text search, or even something fancier like cover sheets with barcodes?Jan 19, 2021 6:14 AM
