What it does
Convert text PDFs and clear English scans to editable Markdown in your browser. Free to use, no sign-up required.
Turn text PDFs and clear English scans into editable Markdown, right in your browser. Your PDF content and Markdown result are not sent to our application servers. The converter reads the document’s existing text layer, keeps a practical reading order, and rebuilds headings, lists, and simple tables as Markdown. Pages without usable text are handled separately. Clear English scans can be recognized locally, while text pages stay on the faster extraction path. See detection, extraction, scanned-page reading, and structuring as they happen. Edit the Markdown, check the preview, then copy or download it. Turn source documents into editable text for review before using them in a knowledge…from pdftomdconverter.app

- MCMarkdownConverters – Convert any file format to clean MarkdownOct 2025 · markdownconverters.com · ▲9
Hey HN I built MarkdownConverters.com — a tool that converts any file format (PDF, DOCX, PPTX, HTML, or URL) into clean, structured Markdown. I often needed to prep documents, reports, or scraped pages for AI pipelines, documentation, or version control, but existing tools either broke formatting, lost code blocks, or produced unreadable Markdown. So I built something that focuses on: • Accurate structure (headings, lists, tables, code, links) • Consistent Markdown output ready for LLMs or docs • Fast, browser-based conversion with privacy-friendly processing • Support for multi-format and…

Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…

I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.
