NodeLand▲533Hello, HN! Have you ever considered that you might be a visual thinker? A lot of studies emphasize the benefits of visual thinking in learning, as it activates different parts of the brain and enhances comprehension and retention. It is common, for example, to remind yourself of a concept by visualizing the page where you wrote it down. This is because the brain is more likely to remember visual information than text. Unlike traditional linear note-taking apps like Notion and Evernote, NodeLand introduces a revolutionary connection-based model. Everything you write is seamlessly integrated…

Hey HN! I love finding new books to read on here. I wanted to gather the most mentioned books and recreate the serendipity of physical browsing. I scraped 20k comments from HN threads related to reading, extracted the references and opinions using GPT-4o mini, and visualised their embeddings as a map. - OpenAI's embeddings were processed using UMAP and HDBSCAN. A direct 2D projection from the text embeddings didn't yield visually interesting results. Instead, HDBSCAN is first applied on a high-dimensional projection. Those clusters tend to correspond to different genres. The genre…

Auto Mind▲13I’ve always been curious about big, complex topics; things like quantum computing, AI ethics, or philosophy, but I’d often get stuck at the very beginning. I’d open a dozen tabs, skim Wikipedia, and still not feel like I had a good mental model of what I was even looking at. So I built a tool to help with that. You type in any topic, and it generates a simple mind map; just a few high-level subtopics to start. Then, as you click and explore those nodes, it expands outward with more specific, connected concepts. The map grows with your curiosity. It’s intentionally lightweight and…
