I tried to upload a 239 KB pdf and it said "Daily processing limit reached".

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

What's the cost per article?

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.

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

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).

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.

Totally fair, I addressed this in my original post.

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.

Good point. I can think of a couple ways to do that

Really clever ideas!

Maybe a combo where I keep a list and automatically process as funds become available.

You should just whip up some simple cost plus payment, with a low plus.

I'd probably use it now.

Neat! Social previews would be great to add https://socialsharepreview.com/?url=https://nowigetit.us/pag...

Cool idea...do you mean include metatags in every generated page so socialpreviews can be automatically generated?
