What is the benefit over something like stirling-pdf?
PdfDing has a totally different use case than stirling-pdf. stirling-pdf is for manupilating PDF files, in contrast the PdfDing is for viewing and managing PdfFiles.
There are also self-hostable ebook readers, but they (at least the ones I have tried) don't allow individual users to upload their own files. Usually there is an admin curating the content. Also sharing content with an external audience is difficult.
