Show HN: Now I Get It – Translate scientific papers into interactive webpages
Hacker News (score: 117)[Other] Show HN: Now I Get It – Translate scientific papers into interactive webpages Understanding scientific articles can be tough, even in your own field. Trying to comprehend articles from others? Good luck.<p>Enter, Now I Get It!<p>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.<p>Now I Get It! uses the best LLMs out there, which means the app will improve as AI improves.<p>Free for now - it's capped at 20 articles per day so I don't burn cash.<p>A few things I (and maybe you will) find interesting:<p>* 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.<p>* 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.<p>* The app is a place for me to experiment with using LLMs to translate scientific articles into software. The space is pregnant with possibilities.<p>* Everything in the app is the result of agentic engineering, e.g. plans, specs, tasks, execution loops. I swear by Beads (<a href="https://github.com/steveyegge/beads" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/steveyegge/beads</a>) by Yegge and also make heavy use of Beads Viewer (<a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46314423">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46314423</a>) and Destructive Command Guard (<a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46835674">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46835674</a>) by Jeffrey Emanuel.<p>* 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.

Show HN: Visual Lambda Calculus – a thesis project (2008) revived for the web Originally built as my master's thesis in 2008, Visual Lambda is a graphical environment where lambda terms are manipulated as draggable 2D structures ("Bubble Notation"), and beta-reduction is smoothly animated.<p>I recently revived and cleaned up the project and published it as an interactive web version: <a href="https://bntre.github.io/visual-lambda/" rel="nofollow">https://bntre.github.io/visual-lambda/</a><p>GitHub repo: <a href="https://github.com/bntre/visual-lambda" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/bntre/visual-lambda</a><p>It also includes a small "Lambda Puzzles" challenge, where you try to extract a hidden free variable (a golden coin) by constructing the right term: <a href="https://github.com/bntre/visual-lambda#puzzles" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/bntre/visual-lambda#puzzles</a>

Show HN: Claude-File-Recovery, recover files from your ~/.claude sessions
Hacker News (score: 75)[CLI Tool] Show HN: Claude-File-Recovery, recover files from your ~/.claude sessions Claude Code deleted my research and plan markdown files and informed me: “I accidentally rm -rf'd real directories in my Obsidian vault through a symlink it didn't realize was there: I made a mistake. “<p>Unfortunately the backup of my documentation accidentally hadn’t run for a month. So I built claude-file-recovery, a CLI-tool and TUI that is able to extract your files from your ~/.claude session history and thankfully I was able to recover my files. It's able to extract any file that Claude Code ever read, edited or wrote. I hope you will never need it, but you can find it on my GitHub and pip. Note: It can recover an earlier version of a file at a certain point in time.<p>pip install claude-file-recovery

Show HN: Badge that shows how well your codebase fits in an LLM's context window
Hacker News (score: 22)[Other] Show HN: Badge that shows how well your codebase fits in an LLM's context window Small codebases were always a good thing. With coding agents, there's now a huge advantage to having a codebase small enough that an agent can hold the full thing in context.<p>Repo Tokens is a GitHub Action that counts your codebase's size in tokens (using tiktoken) and updates a badge in your README. The badge color reflects what percentage of an LLM's context window the codebase fills: green for under 30%, yellow for 50-70%, red for 70%+. Context window size is configurable and defaults to 200k (size of Claude models).<p>It's a composite action. Installs tiktoken, runs ~60 lines of inline Python, takes about 10 seconds. The action updates the README but doesn't commit, so your workflow controls the git strategy.<p>The idea is to make token size a visible metric, like bundle size badges for JS libraries. Hopefully a small nudge to keep codebases lean and agent-friendly.<p>GitHub: <a href="https://github.com/qwibitai/nanoclaw/tree/main/repo-tokens" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/qwibitai/nanoclaw/tree/main/repo-tokens</a>
