Show HN: Now I Get It – Translate scientific papers into interactive webpages

https://nowigetit.us
22•jbdamask•2h ago
Understanding scientific articles can be tough, even in your own field. Trying to comprehend articles from others? Good luck.

Enter, Now I Get It!

I made this app for curious people. Simply upload an article and after a few minutes you'll have an interactive web page showcasing the highlights. Generated pages are stored in the cloud and can be viewed from a gallery.

Now I Get It! uses the best LLMs out there, which means the app will improve as AI improves.

Free for now - it's capped at 20 articles per day so I don't burn cash.

A few things I (and maybe you will) find interesting:

* This is a pure convenience app. I could just as well use a saved prompt in Claude, but sometimes it's nice to have a niche-focused app. It's just cognitively easier, IMO.

* The app was built for myself and colleagues in various scientific fields. It can take an hour or more to read a detailed paper so this is like an on-ramp.

* The app is a place for me to experiment with using LLMs to translate scientific articles into software. The space is pregnant with possibilities.

* Everything in the app is the result of agentic engineering, e.g. plans, specs, tasks, execution loops. I swear by Beads (https://github.com/steveyegge/beads) by Yegge and also make heavy use of Beads Viewer (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46314423) and Destructive Command Guard (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46835674) by Jeffrey Emanuel.

* I'm an AWS fan and have been impressed by Opus' ability to write good CFN. It still needs a bunch of guidance around distributed architecture but way better than last year.

can i spin this up myself? is the code anywhere? thanks!

No, it’s not open source. Not sure what I’m doing with it yet.

Can you give me more info on why you’d want to install it yourself? Is this an enterprise thing?

It's down and it could be interesting to iterate on.

I don't want to downplay the effort here but from my experience you can get yourself a neat interactive summary html with a short prompt and a good model (Opus 4.5+, Codex 5.2+, etc).

Totally fair, I addressed this in my original post.

I tried to upload a 239 KB pdf and it said "Daily processing limit reached".
jbdamask•1h ago
Yea, looks like a lot of people uploaded articles today. I have a 20 article per day cap now because I’m paying for it.

I could change to a simple cost+ model but don’t want to bother until I see if people like it.

Ideas for splitting the difference so more people can use it without breaking my bank appreciated

lamename•1h ago
So far i really like what it does for the example articles shown. I want to test it on 1 or 2 articles I know well, and if it passes that test it's a product I'd totally pay for.

What's the cost per article?
leke•1h ago
metoo. I'm very interested to see what it can do.

Neat!

Social previews would be great to add

Thanks John. Neat to see you on the HN front page.

One LLM feature I've been trying to teach Alltrna is scraping out data from supplemental tables (or the figures themselves) and regraphing them to see if we come to the same conclusions as the authors.

LLMs can be overly credulous with the authors' claims, but finding the real data and analysis methods is too time consuming. Perhaps Claude with the right connectors can shorten that.

Some ideas for seeing more examples:

1. Add a donate button. Some folks probably just want to see more examples (or an example in their field, but don't have a specific paper in mind.)

2. Have a way to nominate papers to be examples. You could do this in the HN thread without any product changes. This could give good coverage of different fields and uncover weaknesses in the product.

A light mode would be great. I know that many people ask for a dark mode for the reason that they think that a light mode is more tiring than a dark mode but for me it is the opposite.
