Show HN: PDF reader with interactive visualizations for research papers

7 points - today at 5:47 PM


Hey HN,

I built a PDF reader that can generate interactive visualizations right inside the document. The goal is to reduce the “intuition gap” when reading dense papers: select a concept, click Visualize, and it tries to produce a solid visual interactive app where you can rotate/zoom/step through (not just a text explanation).

Upload any PDF, select text, click Visualize. Demo (no signup): https://zerodistract.com/try/pdf/67cdee74-810b-4f1b-af7d-010...

Product link: https://zerodistract.com

I’d love feedback, especially on what feels useful vs. distracting, and where it breaks.

    just tried the product, it's good, well executed! especially how the generated visualization fixes itself. any plans to bring in annotation tools?
