## Talk first

> **Stop.** Don't read Reference until we've talked.
> In chat, say **"let's do TB-021"** or **"paperless-ngx"**.

**In one sentence:** Drop PDFs in a folder → OCR → searchable archive.

**Why it came up:** ownCloud stores files; this adds document search and tagging.

### Questions

1. Do you scan receipts/documents often enough to matter?
2. Or is ownCloud + Obsidian enough?

### Your options

| **Later** | Keep on the list, not now |
