Easy and customizable reading.

Lector launched on January 6, 2026 with 5 votes, #3,400 of 14,584 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches.

What it does

Lector is not a PDF manager or a document viewer. It’s a reading-first experience. Built for long-form reading, not contracts or anything else. You can customize typography, spacing, and focus modes to make PDFs feel like books, not paperwork.

    Markant – A Dedicated Markdown ReaderApr 2026 · markant.md · ▲6

    With Markdown being the standard output for many LLMs I needed a way to view them outside the usual code editors. Markant is a no nonsense viewer, that also prepares markdown for print and PDF. It supports very large documents, like books, without any speed penalty. Along the way I realized that it would be nice with a Markdown version of ePub, where multiple markdown files along with images could be bundled. That is now a new format called Markbook - https://markbooks.org that is easy for anyone, including AI to write.

    Hey HN! I wanted to share something I built over the last few weeks: isometric.nyc is a massive isometric pixel art map of NYC, built with nano banana and coding agents. I didn't write a single line of code. Of course no-code doesn't mean no-engineering. This project took a lot more manual labor than I'd hoped! I wrote a deep dive on the workflow and some thoughts about the future of AI coding and creativity: http://cannoneyed.com/projects/isometric-nyc
