| Hi guys, I built Boost Reader, which is an online reader with LLM integration. Think of it like Cursor/Windsurf but for reading. Right now, it only supports PDF. The main features it supports are: Highlight any text to ask the LLM a question.
Summarize the current page.
Screenshot a portion of the page and ask the LLM a question about it.
The reason I built this is pretty personal: when I read anything technical or in some unfamiliar domain (books, papers, reports), I find myself spending lots of time either googling or GPT-ing concepts or context I don't understand. All that copy and pasting back and forth during reading is such an interrupting experience, it finally started to annoy me enough to attempt to fix it. I just wanted things to happen in one place. This is mostly a hobby project, but I genuinely think this could be a tremendous help for anyone who experiences the same pain I was. So, I wanted to throw it out here to see if this could be useful to others. It's mostly a personal tool for me right now. But if people like this, I can then perhaps turn this into a larger-scoped project with cooler features. Link is boost-reader.vercel.app What do you think? If this something you'd use? |
