24 alternatives to Sort Any Awesome List by GitHub Stars
As a CS undergrad, I self-taught many topics not covered by the school. Typically awesome list is where I started with. I spent my second half in college researching computer vision and machine learning. CVPR accepts over 2000 papers every year, not to mention arXiv. The awesome lists curated by the community usually serve as checklists when I was doing literature surveys. But since the number of the list items was overwhelming, I had to prioritize which papers to read first. Many of them had been uploaded to arXiv in the last few months, so I had no clue how many citations they would get.…

As a grad student (and an ADHDer), I had trouble doing literature review systematically. To combat this, I made a website that finds similar papers using the meaning of the thing I am looking for. I used MixedBread's [^1] embedding model to generate vectors from the abstracts. I store and search similar vectors using Milvus [^2] and finally use Gradio [^3] to serve the frontend. I update the vector database weekly by pulling the metadata dataset from Kaggle [^4]. To speed up the search process on my free oracle instance, I binarise the embeddings and use Hamming distance as a metric. I would…

Hi HN, The discussion pops up regularly about which MOOCs and courses to take so I figured I'd start a curated list of recommendations. It's by no means exhaustive (and it's just the ones I know) and is quite broad. If you had any suggestions, feel free to create a PR or Issue, or even respond to this post and I will add it. I'd love to be able to capture quality somehow, but not sure of the way to go about that just yet. https://github.com/tombasche/professional-development

I built this yesterday to help understand papers I'm interested in. It's using the gemini 2.5 flash lite model, but you can run it yourself[1] and switch to 2.5 pro for better results. Happy to answer any questions or take suggestions on how I can improve it! 1. https://github.com/montanaflynn/asxiv

When I read papers, I have to jump between multiple tabs to find the dataset, code, videos, peer reviews, and so on. I tried to fix this with this project. It started as a project just for papers on arXiv, but after its initial success on Twitter (got like 1.9k views: the most I have gotten for a post), I have now expanded it to include other openly available papers from PubMed Central, bioRxiv, medRxiv, and eLife. These papers have been linked with their genes, proteins, diseases, drugs, clinical trials, 3D protein structures, code, and cited and similar papers. This project now has four…

Hey HN! I've always found it hard to keep up with the latest AI research, so I built Arxiv Feed! https://arxiv-feed.vercel.app/ It's basically a feed of AI research papers + a one-liner explaining what problem its solving, etc. You can also click on any paper to get a TL;DR. Right now, I've only indexed a few hundred large language model papers, but will expand to indexing AI papers in other topics. Thinking of also adding a way for people to up-vote/down-vote papers. Would love to hear any thoughts/feedback! :D Thanks!

10 second version: Get 10000feet view of job descriptions - https://be-distinguished.com 2 minute version : Hi HN, Long time lurker, big fan, and first time poster inspired by how this community elaborates on ideas and new products. Recently was given feedback that my CV was too long at 2 pages, I was at loss as to how to update it without having a high-level view of the requirements of the type of jobs I would be interested in. So I built https://be-distinguished.com to help me study relevant job requirements categorized by seniority, salary and keywords. I then used my…

I needed a way to grab a random paper from arXiv, so I built one and wanted to share it with you. It 1) picks a random topic (of all the cs., econ., math.* etc. topics) 2) finds the maximum amount of papers in that topic, and 3) queries for a random paper in that topic. Note that this skews the distribution heavily in favor of topics that are less common, but it should get the job done. Suggestions for improvements are welcome.

The project aims to organize computer science research in a logical, simple, and easy-to-follow way. It is designed to help us find papers worth reading first. I started building Trending Papers because following computer science research has become increasingly hard as the pace of innovation accelerates. The number of new articles on Arxiv has grown at 27% CAGR for the past 20 years. 240 new papers have been filed daily on average over the past 12 months. And the number is growing: last month, there were well over 300 new papers on average every single day. The system is based on some…

arXiv-news▲11Hey HN! I built arXiv News (https://arxiv-news.com) – a discussion space for research papers. The problem: I browse arXiv constantly for new papers, but there's nowhere good to discuss them. Twitter is chaotic, Reddit is fragmented, and arXiv itself has no comments. So I cloned HN's design (using https://github.com/clintonwoo/hackernews-react-graphql) and applied it to arXiv. Upvote papers, comment, sort by hot/new/discussed, filter by category, post ideas/papers you've found. A daily scraper pulls all new papers automatically. I'd love to hear…
