Show HN: APA citation generator that explains missing metadata

Based, APA citation generator that explains missing metadata works in show hn launch.

Profile

I built this because many citation tools return incomplete APA references (especially missing author/date -> n.d.), and users still have to fix everything manually.This tool takes a URL or DOI and: - extracts metadata with rule-first parsing - uses AI to fill likely missing fields - shows confidence + “needs review” warnings - lets you edit and copy both reference + in-text citation quicklyCurrent focus is APA 7 for websites/DOI. No-login usage is available for quick tests.Would love feedback on: 1) citation accuracy edge cases 2) UI/UX clarity for review warnings 3) features you’d want next (BibTeX export, Zotero flow, etc.)

Within the show hn launch space, the company focuses on its core offering rather than a broad product line.

Directory data places it at the Show HN launch stage.
