I don't. Too new and I haven't fully committed to this idea yet.

#63Someone processed a paper on designing kindergartens. Mad props for trying such a cool paper. Really interesting how the LLM designed a soothing color scheme and even included a quiz at the end. https://nowigetit.us/pages/9c19549e-9983-47ae-891f-dd63abd51...
There is no chart or table in the original paper. Feels like the one in the LLM-generated page is probably hallucinated?

#64The app may be getting throttled. If you're waiting on a job, check back in a bit.

#65There is a limit for 100 pages. Tried to upload the Architectural Styles and the Design of Network-based Software Architectures (REST - Roy T. Fielding) but it is 180 pages.

If you mean the bar chart, then yea, it made a representational chart.
The caption says, "Conceptual illustration based on the paper's framework — higher quality environments lead to better outcomes across all domains."

Good to know. There are also limits to context window of file size. These errors are emerging as people use the app. I'll add them to the FAQ.
The app doesn't do any chunking of PDFs

The actual explanation (using code blocks) is almost impossible to read and comprehend.

#69Some 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.
It would be fun if the donate button let you see how many additional papers your gift would enable. I'm thinking of something like the ticker you see on the right side of a GoFundMe page, where you might see "$175 donated today, 112 papers translated, credit for 96 papers remaining"; one might choose to donate $20 rather than, say, $5, if there were a clear connection to the benefit you were providing.

Sometimes the LLM output isn’t great. If you uploaded the paper you can click Recreate. Otherwise just upload the PDF and see if you get a better response
