Hi Hacker News, I’m Yahia. I built Context.dev (https://www.context.dev/) to make it really easy to integrate web data into your products and agents.Here’s a demo video: https://www.tella.tv/video/build-faster-with-context-dev-api...Since it’s an API, here are the docs: https://docs.context.dev/quickstart.You can send us a URL and get back clean Markdown, rendered HTML, screenshots, extracted images, etc.. You can also send us a domain and get company or brand context: name, description, logos, colors, fonts, social links, screenshots, style information, and related metadata. For more custom use cases, you can send a URL plus a JSON Schema and ask us to extract structured data from the site into that shape. For example, you might ask for pricing plans, product categories, office locations, support links, integration partners, or anything else that is visible on the public site.The goal is to give developers the output they actually want. Raw HTML is rarely the useful thing; the useful thing is usually Markdown for a model, JSON for an application, a logo for a UI, or a structured company profile for an agent.Before, I worked at Amazon and Sunrun, and co-founded StockAlarm.io & essense.io, both of which were acquired. Also, I built knifegeek.io, which scraped pocket knives from across the internet and listed them easily. The project is outdated now (coming back soon) but back then it hit the frontpage of hacker news and people seemed to like it: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34604281.Just before Context.dev, I built Brand.dev. The idea was that your software product should automatically know about your customer if they sign up with a corporate email. The API pulled brand data such as logos, backdrops, name, description, industry, and more from the public web and surfaced it to your product to integrate as part of their onboarding experience. That’s worth doing because conversion rates on onbo

I've been slowly adding some new free tools to Moxie Docs (partly for SEO, partly to illustrate some of our feature sets before any commitment) for some reason this mermaid editor one blew up on Google rankings so I figured I'd share in case people find it useful! We also have ADR, AGENTS.md, LLMs, and a few other free tools.

After my father was diagnosed with Stage 3 kidney cancer, my family was thrown into a tailspin. Getting second opinions, planning surgery, ensuring insurance coverage, coping with the fear. It was a lot to process.In the middle of dealing with all the medical logistics, I realized none of our family could answer if he: - Had a medical directive? - How to trigger his life insurance policy? - Where is his will and who is the executor? - What bank accounts and credit cards existed? - What bills are not on auto-pay? - When these bills due and how are they paid?That wasn’t solved by password managers or budgeting apps. So I built it.LastShelf: automatically discovers, documents and distributes a map of critical life documents, expenses & contacts in the event of an emergency.

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 parts:First, a map. I embedded nearly 8.5M papers (with SPECTER2), ran UMAP for 2D representation, and rendered them as a scatterplot. The dots can be clicked to see brief information about the papers, like an LLM TLDR, key findings, peer reviews, linked entities, and more. The clusters are also labeled, though you might have to zoom in.Second, I built a detailed paper page for each paper. They give you the paper's full text, images, videos, peer reviews (from OpenReview), GitHub links, Hugging Face dataset/model links, clinical trials, genes, diseases, 3D protein structures, cited papers, and similar papers. You can also copy the whole page, including the full paper text and image URLs, as markdown for your LLM.Third, I have released an extension so you can read all this information in your sidebar by clicking "open in Tomesphere" that shows up in arXiv, PMC, bioRxiv, Google Scholar, or medRxiv. I have tried to provide as much information as possible in the extension, though for things like viewing all the images or a 3D protein structure, you might still have to go to the paper page using the link provided in the extension.Fourth, all this data is available for your LLM via MCP. The MCP does have a 50-query free limit (this jumps 10x with signup).Note: this project is still in beta, so papers might have some mismatched information. I am rolling out feedback form
