What it does
Flick through an article too fast and Skim Recap hands the skipped passage back in a card beside your cursor. If a term stops you, select the word or phrase and press Feynman: Gemma uses the surrounding paragraph, nearby context, heading, and page title to explain what it means here. Everything runs locally through LiteRT-LM and WebGPU—no account or hosted LLM API.
Skim Recap catches what you scrolled past and summarizes skipped passages on-device with Gemma 4 E4B through LiteRT-LM.
Flick past a paragraph faster than you can read it and Skim Recap hands that passage back — a short recap beside your cursor, written by Gemma 4 running on your own GPU. Nothing you read leaves the browser. Skim Recap is a Chrome extension that detects fast scroll gestures, estimates the passage you skipped, and displays a compact recap beside your cursor using Gemma 4 E4B through LiteRT-LM. It is designed for long articles, documentation, essays, and research posts where you want to skim quickly without losing the thread of the page. The extension runs from a small popup with an enabled toggle, an adjustable flick threshold, and a model preload action. Once active, the recap panel…from skim-recap.vercel.app

ScrollDec 2025 · chromewebstore.google.com · ▲93I kept losing ideas in long chats, so I built a tiny Chrome extension to make navigating between turns/prompts way easier. Idk why this isn't a native feature on all LLMs. Anyway, free and open source on GitHub or the Chrome Store. Hope it's helpful!

Clipto MCP▲655Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

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…
