An essay worth waiting months to read

It does not actually :) We pick the parts of the text we feel are most relevant and then use that for the prompts.

Hey! We're working on adding more options for the user if you're not getting good explanations. They're not out yet, but we'd love to talk. You can email us at aman (at) explainpaper.com

We're actively working on math notation! Tough problem but lots of people have asked.
And we'll push an update soon with better loading :)

Posting laments is a way readers can influence others and actively try to clean up the site. Increasing awareness is effective

This is really nice, really fast. I would love to have more examples on the site itself to try. Had a hard time finding "Test example" so maybe make that more prominent, I feel like that's the first thing anyone's gonna want to do

Hey hey!
This weekend I hacked together a quick command bar for Google Calendar. There are so many "Superhuman for Calendar" startups, but I don't really care about anything except the ⌘-k bar, so I just built a really good implementation myself.
It's already a way better Command Bar than most existing command bars from Superhuman or Raycast because it uses a LLM to do some of the parsing.
I did the overlay using a Chrome extension [1]. So I called it "Lui" (Language User Interface) and I'm going to make it work for more sites like Webflow, Mixpanel, Typeform and even Jira. What Lui's do you want to see?
My ambition is to make the web as wonderful to use as the terminal (once you've learned it, of course). But there's a reason GUI killed DOS, it's just super unforgiving. I think my Lui fixes that problem.
Chrome has yet to approve my app so you can't download it yet but if you put in your email I'll send you the `dist` so you can load it unpacked. I'm also consider open-sourcing some of it if people are interested, since I can't possibly build all the Lui's myself so other people should.

Hey everyone!
Website: https://www.rosieos.com Loom demo: https://www.loom.com/share/fed7d30acb7940708db8e613aed29279
I'm Aman, and I'm creating Rosie (www.rosieos.com). This product is only a few weeks old, but it's been super helpful so far. I built Rosie because trying to learn and debug via StackOverflow is a complete pain and I spend probably 50% of my time flailing around getting nowhere. So I built Rosie.
Rosie is an AI that answers StackOverflow questions. It is currently focused on the React ecosystem, and answers a couple of different types of questions:
- error messages - how do I do something? - how does X work? - opinions (ex. why use TS vs JS)
Why is Rosie better than StackOverflow?
1. Responses are instant. No crawling through 20 posts or waiting hours for a reply 2. No fear of judgement or toxicity. 3. The more detail you add, the better Rosie gets. Dump all the code you want
In the future, Rosie will integrate with your repositories so it has context on your existing libraries, packages and code-writing style. My goal is to make Rosie more effective than bugging the local staff engineer.
Rosie's powered by OpenAI Codex, I'm happy to explain details in the comments. The product is currently in a closed beta, which is why this isn't a Show HN. Please email me at aman @ rosieos.com if you'd like to get on early!
Hope you guys like it, I'm excited to share more details in the future :)
