Hi guys,I built Boost Reader, which is an online reader with LLM integration. Think of it like Cursor/Windsurf but for reading. Right now, it only supports PDF.The main features it supports are:Highlight any text to ask the LLM a question. Summarize the current page. Screenshot a portion of the page and ask the LLM a question about it. The reason I built this is pretty personal: when I read anything technical or in some unfamiliar domain (books, papers, reports), I find myself spending lots of time either googling or GPT-ing concepts or context I don't understand. All that copy and pasting back and forth during reading is such an interrupting experience, it finally started to annoy me enough

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.
