Shameless plug: I made a native iOS/Mac app that's adjacent to Immich, but narrower in scope. It focuses on local image search and photo organization.

Everything is indexed and searched locally, so the photos never leave the device.

Building CiteLLM, an API that extracts structured data from PDFs and returns exact source locations for every field.

There's also a widget so you can add click-to-verify to your own app in a few lines of code.

Click any value, jump straight to the highlighted source in the PDF.

Working on CiteLLM, an API that extracts structured data from PDFs and returns citations for each field (page + coordinates + source snippet + confidence).

Instead of blindly trusting the LLM, you can verify every value by linking it back to its exact location in the original PDF.

I'm working on this exact problem with https://citellm.com .

Every extracted field comes with a precise citation back to the source document (page + snippet + bounding box + confidence score) so reviewers can verify where each value came from.

Hallucinations get flagged automatically because there's no supporting text in the source.

The goal is to make HITL fast and not have reviewers read through the whole document.

> verifying their claims ends up taking time.

I've been working on this problem with https://citellm.com, specifically for PDFs.

Instead of relying on the LLM answer alone, each extracted field links to its source in the original document (page number + highlighted snippet + confidence score).

Checking any claim becomes simple: click and see the exact source.

Show HN: SuperCurate – Fast note search and curation

I'm building SuperCurate (https://getsupercurate.com), a tool focused on note retrieval and curation rather than note creation. Think filing cabinet for your notes, web clippings, images and PDFs.I built it because I wanted fast search and filters for my Evernote archive (ENEX) so I could drill down and surface exactly what I was looking for.It can also search inside PDFs and jump directly to...

I wanted fast search and filters for my Evernote archive so I could drill down and surface exactly what I was looking for.

There's also a Web Clipper extension for Chrome.

Search inside PDFs (jumps to page + highlights snippet): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t0X9sD-938Q

It's free while in beta, would love feedback if you try it.

Shameless plug: if you want to get searchable PDFs try https://getsearchablepdf.com
We've built an app like that but for PDF table extraction, https://table2xl.com

Shameless plug: https://getsearchablepdf.com

There's a free trial so you can check if it works for your handwriting.

If you're on Windows try https://table2xl.com (disclosure: I'm the founder), it's more accurate than Excel's camera import. No API though.
Shameless plug: You can also try https://getsearchablepdf.com for batch OCR, it supports images and handwriting.

Show HN: Easiest way to convert PDF tables to Excel

https://table2xl.com

We built a Windows app to convert PDF tables to Excel. You just have to take a screenshot of the table.Why try another app when there's so many PDF to Excel converters? It is: - Faster - More convenient - More accurate than other converters (including Excel's Power Query).Feel free to test it with complex tables (like the ones found in financial documents).
