    Hello HN community! I'm excited to introduce a project I've recently launched: Oration, an iOS app designed to convert PDFs into audiobooks. This idea was inspired by my experiences as an engineering student with ADHD, struggling to engage with dense academic papers. Relying on Text-to-Speech tools, despite their robotic quality, was a workaround for me and others with similar learning preferences or challenges, such as Dyslexia. Recognizing the limitations of existing tools—difficulty with complex formats, inability to skip over citations or footnotes, and inadequate handling of tables,…

    I’ve been building Comma Reader as a personal project because I’ve always wanted a certain reading experience: minimalist, feature-rich, and most importantly a library that takes care of itself. (on device automatic categorization, tagging, chapter summaries, and explanations.) I’d love your feedback!

    When I do real research — reading papers, books, or trying to understand a complex topic — it never happens in one sitting. I explore a bit, get interrupted, come back days later, ask new questions, find new sources, and gradually build understanding. Existing AI tools are great at answering questions once, but they reset context every time. Notes tools preserve text, but not understanding — they don’t help me reconnect ideas, revisit sources, or see how my thinking has evolved. I built Kerns to sit in between. Kerns is an AI research workspace designed for research that unfolds over time.…
