DEVLog - June

Hey, hey everyone!

June is almost over. I cannot believe we are already halfway through the year! This month was great for my projects. Most of them are now solid solutions. This means I finally have more time to rest and plan what comes next.

Let us look at what I worked on this month.

Scan Documents

Last month I released the API for Scan Documents. This is a tool that helps you automate scanning and organizing documents. It makes digital work much faster and easier.

In June I fixed some bugs. I also finished several tasks. Now the API is public and ready for everyone to use!

With this new release, I added guides on how to use the API with other tools. You can use platforms like Zapier (a tool that connects different apps) even if you do not know how to code. This also allows AI helpers to use the service.

My main goal this month was building the Zapier integration. I added some helpful features like scanning, merging, and converting files.

The integration is done. It is currently in a nearly private testing phase. You can join by following the invite in the Zapier Docs.

On the app itself, I added a way to save files as JPEG or WebP images. Many people asked for this last month.

So, that is it. If you are interested in the App, the API, or the Zapier integration, you can check them out here.

IMG Processing

Next is IMG Processing. This is my tool for editing and analyzing images. I did a lot of work behind the scenes to make it better at handling documents.

The biggest problem before was the image size limit. You could only use images up to 2,048 pixels. I increased that limit to 10,000 pixels this month! This makes the tool useful for many more people and different types of work.

I also used a special blueprint for the API to create a new Software Development Kit (SDK). I used a service called Stainless to do this. An SDK is a set of tools that makes it easier for other developers to use my code in their own projects.

Stainless | Generate best-in-class-SDKs

With Stainless, you can deliver idiomatic SDKs while you stay focused on building the API.

This new version also includes a Model Context Protocol (MCP). This is a bridge that helps AI agents execute tasks like resizing images or removing backgrounds.

Finally, I added better AI models. These help the tool understand what is in an image with much more accuracy.

If you want to check out the API, see it below.

SignatureAPI

SignatureAPI is the startup project where I work. It is a service for collecting digital signatures on documents.

This month we focused on small updates for security clearly aimed at authentication. We also made some changes to the way the code is organized. We moved some tasks to a separate system (called a lambda) to make the main service faster and more reliable.

Privacy Policy Review

This project was stuck for a while because of an issue with my domain keeper (iwantmyname).

My account was locked. Their support team was very slow to respond. I tried to reach them every week. Finally, I got my account back only to find out my domain was on hold!

I am going to keep working on this. I hope to have it fixed early this month! It has been quite a journey. I had to use many different ways to get help. We are almost finished (and I will likely move my domain elsewhere soon).

Update: Just a few minutes after I wrote this, the issue was solved! I have my domain back now.

Looking Ahead to July

Alright, looking ahead to July, here are my goals for the upcoming month:

• Scan Documents: Now that the API and Zapier integration are ready, I plan to share it on Product Hunt. This will help more people find it.
• IMG Processing: I want to build more connections (integrations) for this tool as well.
• New projects: I am working on some small ideas. One might become a new side project, but the details are still a secret at the moment!

Let us see how it goes.

Let’s Build

Now you know what I did and what I plan to do. It is your turn! What will you build this month?

Thank you for reading and for following my journey. Your support means so much to me. Please check out the links and let me know what you think.

Let’s build together and see you in the next update!
