Show HN: PDF reader with interactive visualizations for research papers
vignesh_warar Friday, February 27, 2026Hey HN,
I built a PDF reader that can generate interactive visualizations right inside the document. The goal is to reduce the “intuition gap” when reading dense papers: select a concept, click Visualize, and it tries to produce a solid visual interactive app where you can rotate/zoom/step through (not just a text explanation).
Upload any PDF, select text, click Visualize. Demo (no signup): https://zerodistract.com/try/pdf/67cdee74-810b-4f1b-af7d-010...

I’d love feedback, especially on what feels useful vs. distracting, and where it breaks.
