About the project
DEDA is a toolkit for extracting, decoding and anonymising yellow dots (Document Colour Tracking Dots) that colour laser printers add to every page to encode the source device.
Useful for
- Decode the printer serial number from a document scan with deda_parse_print
- Identify which printer produced a document by comparing scans with deda_compare_prints
- Remove yellow dots from a scan or PDF before printing via deda_clean_document and deda_anonmask_apply

Stars per day
Bars show daily stars; the line is a moving average of the available history. Short histories do not yet establish a reliable usual pace. Red marks spike days.
Why it’s trending

Star trust
Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.
These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
