Description

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.

Discussion

20 comments analyzed.

Competitors mentioned: MyVibe - instant publishing for web projects

Concerns raised: Output pages feel like tech buzzword landing pages rather than readable content, Diagrams become undecipherable/hard to parse visually, 7-second refresh loop bug on iOS (Firefox/Safari), Pages cut off halfway through due to prompt injection security filters, Unclear if output is fully generated without human tweaking

Feature requests: Interactive graph of references with linked pages for cited papers, Automatic generation of TikTok/YouTube short videos from papers, Support for 'vibe research' mode - exploratory deep-dive into papers for new insights, Interactive dialogue mode instead of static page generation
