I've always found it incredibly tedious and risky to manually track deadlines from contracts, legal notices, or project plans. It's easy to miss a critical date buried in a 50-page PDF.

To solve this, I built DeadliQ. It's a simple SaaS platform where you can upload any document (including a photo taken with your phone), and it uses the Google Cloud Vision API to automatically find, extract, and track all the deadlines for you. The goal is to eliminate manual data entry and the stress that comes with it.

The backend is built with Node.js/Express and the frontend with React. For the core OCR functionality, I'm leveraging Google Cloud Vision, and then parsing the text to identify date patterns.

I'm looking for feedback on the core feature and the overall user experience. Is this a problem you've faced? What other features would make it indispensable for you?

Thanks for checking it out!
