| Hi HN, I've built Fractal Reader, a tool that creates zoomable, multi-level AI summaries for articles and academic papers. https://www.fractal-reader.com Problem: Existing summarization tools typically offer a single summary, which is often too vague or too detailed. Solution: Fractal Reader generates multiple zoomable summaries—from a quick one-sentence overview to detailed paragraph-level summaries—allowing you to seamlessly zoom in or out on content based on your needs. Quickly grasp the big picture, then selectively explore deeper insights without re-reading entire sections. The demos probably illustrate it best: Summary of "Attention Is All You Need" Paper https://www.fractal-reader.com/view/d9bccd98-8580-4c0a-a366-99b0b73a865e Summary of "Do things that don't scale" Essay by Paul Graham https://www.fractal-reader.com/view/184e28f3-0540-4368-a654-3dd0d875ba90 Try it out with your own articles or papers here: https://fractal-reader.com/ --- Under the hood: Fractal Reader leverages Gemini-based summarization in a custom pipeline that intelligently segments text and constructs hierarchical summaries. It's built to smoothly handle both general articles and dense academic material. I'd love your feedback: - Does this solve a real pain point for you?
- Can you think of other scenarios or improvements that would make this tool even more valuable? |
