Added a waitlist to the site https://nowigetit.us


I should probably just make a new post but if anyone is still watching, I've made a couple of changes and have more coming:

1) Modes. You can now choose between Native, Non-Technical, or Kid-Friendly mode. Here are results for the same paper Native: https://test.nowigetit.us/pages/62ef3639-02f0-472b-b0a6-79f6... Non-technical: https://test.nowigetit.us/pages/eba32173-269f-4b5c-9df1-c782... Kid-friendly: https://nowigetit.us/pages/3c413c94-d843-4e84-8805-22af16021...

2) I'm working on user accounts with private galleries

3) Getting closer to opening this up with a cost-plus pricing model. Hopefully by next week but we'll see.


Some commenters have suggested turning this into a sort of graph where references are either brought into the page or new pages are made for references then linked. Is that what you're thinking about?


A few people uploaded the Bitcoin paper and I noticed a bug in one where the page just kind of ended halfway through. This was due to my stringent security protections against prompt injection and outside links but I was blocking some legit CDNs, like Chart.js. That's been adjusted.


Thank you. Great to hear!


Totally agree. At the same time, I find that my brain learns best when I ingest the same information in different ways. This app doesn't replace papers; it complements them. Unless you're my mom - she's not going to read arXiv anytime soon.


No. At least that's not what I intended.


Yea, I was surprised by the output myself. It's all auto-generated.

I'm considering some ways to direct the LLM but we're in this funny period where models are getting better on subjective things like look-and-feel. And if I direct too much, I may wind up over-fitting for today's models.


Thanks for the question and links.

I haven't done any token/cost optimization so far because a) the app works well-enough for me, personally; b) I need more data to understand the areas to optimize.

Most likely, I'd start with quality optimizations that matter to users. Things to make people happier with the results.


I haven't but am open to ideas. What kind of experience would be useful to you?
