Profile

Hi HN, I love reading non-fiction, but I kept catching myself skimming, zoning out, and forgetting most of what I’d “read”. To fix that I built ThinkTotem, a small web app that lets you upload a PDF/EPUB/article/YouTube link and then chat with the material until you actually understand it.What it does- Ingests PDFs, EPUBs, Word docs, plain-text URLs and even YouTube transcripts (≤ 4 MB for now)- Maps key ideas, trims filler and surfaces the essential concepts automatically- Runs an active-recall loop: Socratic questions, explain-it-back prompts, spaced-repetition style refreshers- Tracks mastery so you can skip, revisit or move onWhy not just use ChatGPT/Claude?- General LLM chat is open-end
