Who knew that (efficiently) extracting texts from PDFs was so hard.

PDF Management

  • I couldn't make PDFJs run in the background, so I replaced it with a wasm (rust-based) solution
  • Changed bundler from esbuild to Rollup, because wasm is much easier to integrate with Rollup
  • Omnisearch imports PDFs in the background. This process uses a lot of CPU, so it spawns a maximum of cpu.count() / 2 worker threads at once.
  • Extracted text is cached, so PDFs are only treated once.
    • The PDF cache is unrelated to the notes cache, so you don't need to activate the later.
  • TODO: remove deleted PDFs from the cache

Other changes

  • Refactored the cache management system, and compressed cache data
