This is SpatialRead, a non-linear research paper reading tool that is truly yours.I tried all the "Chat with PDF" apps. They're useful, but I always felt... trapped. My research process isn't a single, linear chat log. It's a branching, messy, and visual process of connecting ideas. I'd get a great explanation from an AI, but it would just get lost in the chat history. I was still stuck...
Projects take time to mature. I think there is innovation in areas which are facing problems and people are working on improving it so that it can actually be viable as a currency.
I'm diving deep into the weeds of Bitcoin and it's very clear that it is at a nascent stage. There is a lack of easily accessible learning material and it seems like there are only a few developers in the space because you keep on seeing the same faces repeatedly.I've been surrounded by Bitcoiners with the content I consume and study so I may be in a bubble. I'm curious what HN's opinion on the...
So to answer your first question, the reason why I don't autoload the .mp4 and .gif files is, as you said, because of the file size. Your suggestion of playing them on hover right inside the phone is much better than an external link button and I'll definitely update it to support that soon. I haven't implemented it yet just for simplicity.
And you're right, there are a few apps that are trying to tackle the same problem, each in their own way. This means that there already is a good market for this sort of product and that it is expected to grow. What I felt missing in most of them is accuracy, detail or ease of usability or even all of them.
In Cryptare, there is a high emphasis on accuracy for the Portfolio management. For example, when you enter a transaction, you have the option to enter the exchange the transaction was done on. What Cryptare does is that when it calculates the price change, it uses the price directly from the exchange instead of the global market average price (as most other apps do). This reduces the chances of inaccuracies. There are 100+ exchanges supported with all their listed trading pairs and this list keeps growing.
You can compare the prices of a cryptocurrency across exchanges very easily and on a good day this can save 20% on a crypto purchase.
On many other apps, price alert notifications are received with a delay. This is not the case with Cryptare. Exchange-specific alerts are also a highlight.
This is just the start as there are many more features on the list. Web and Android versions are coming soon as well, so cross-platform management would become seamless.
