Hello HN, this has been my personal project for quite some time now. It has been a slowly evolving project over the years and its core function is for users to expose themselves to progressively more difficult lessons of music notes. NOTE: It is free and there are no ads. There is an in app purchase but most of the app doesn't require it.

I'm launching something that started as a side project publicly today: ReadToMe, which is an iPhone app that turns paper books and other printed text into audio. Originally this was a Christmas present for my fiancée, who loves books but has an eye problem that makes it hard for her to read more than a few pages at a time. She mostly listens to audiobooks while following along with the paper book, but some books aren't available in audiobook or even e-book form, and all of the existing apps we tried were surprisingly bad at scanning paper books into audio — they make lots of mistakes,…

Hey HN! I've been working on PagePal, an eBook reader designed to help people with ADHD and/or poor memory actually follow and finish books (of course, many people with ADHD can read fine, I just happen to have the kind that gives me Dory-like working memory). A little over a year ago, I was trying to get into reading. I’d be enjoying a book, then hit a wall as soon as too many characters or place names came up (it doesn't take much — five character names and I’m lost). I remember thinking: “If I could just tap on a name and see who this is...”. Then I realised AI could make this…

Hi HN — I’m Maaz. I built Free PDF Editor by TechRex, a privacy-first PDF toolkit that runs entirely in the browser (client-side). No signup, no watermark. Why: I was frustrated that many “free” PDF tools require uploads, add watermarks, or force accounts. I wanted a simple tool where files stay on-device by default. What it includes: - Edit & annotate: type on PDF, highlight, draw/markup, add notes - Add images/branding: insert images/photos, add a logo to a PDF - Organize: merge, split, extract pages, delete pages - Compression: compress for email/WhatsApp/portal…
