I'm really excited to share this project I've built and launched.</p> <p>It's an open-source AI PDF Reader. You can upload a document and then ask it questions directly, which is super helpful for finding information quickly without re-reading everything.</p> <p>I developed this AI-enhanced PDF reader as a cross-platform desktop application using Electron and React. For the core functionalities, I utilized Redux for state management, PDF.js for rendering documents, and the OpenAI API to power the AI-driven explanations and chat features. The project is primarily built with JavaScript, along with HTML and CSS for the user interface.</p> <p>The project is on GitHub, and I would be incredibly grateful for any feedback, ideas, or code suggestions from the community. My personal goal is to reach 150 stars!</p> <p>Thanks for taking the time to check it out.</p> <p>GitHub: <a href="https://github.com/adrirubio/ai-pdf-reader" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://github.com/adrirubio/ai-pdf-reader</a><br> My Journey (Blog Post): <a href="https://adrianrubio.org/blog/my-ai-pdf-reader-how-and-why-I-build-it/" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://adrianrubio.org/blog/my-ai-pdf-reader-how-and-why-I-build-it/</a></p> ai opensource buildinpublic programming
