Hello, I'm Shrijith. I'm building git-lrc, an AI code reviewer that runs on every commit. It is free, unlimited, and source-available on Github. Star Us to help devs discover the project. Do give it a try and share your feedback for improving the product.
Last week, Marker, the PDF to Markdown converter, topped the Hacker News homepage for a while. As a curious student in the ML world, I thought itβd be a good opportunity to look under the hood, and learn more about how this awesome Document AI tool works.What is Marker?
As an analogy, think of marker as an intelligent transcriber, capable ofreading through complex books and scientific article PDFs and converting them to clean text-oriented markdown files. Think of it as an intelligent digitization assistant for your document digitization needs.
The official description for the tool, is a bit more technical, which is as follows:
Marker converts PDF, EPUB, and MOBI to markdown. It's 10x faster than nougat, more accurate on most documents, and has low hallucination risk.
Support for a range of PDF documents (optimized for books and scientific papers)
Removes headers/footers/other artifacts
Converts most equations to latex
Formats code blocks and tables
Supportfor multiple languages (although most testing is done in English). See settings.py for a language list.
Works on GPU, CPU, or MPS
Working Overview
Marker functions in roughly 6 phases, as listed below:

*AI agents write code fast. They also silently remove logic, change behavior, and introduce bugs -- without telling you. You often find out in production.
git-lrc fixes this. It hooks into git commit and reviews every diff before it lands. 60-second setup. Completely free.*
Any feedback or contributors are welcome! It's online, source-available, and ready for anyone to use.

Why
- π€ AI agents silently break things. Code removed. Logic changed. Edge cases gone. You won't notice until production.
- π Catch it before it ships. AI-powered inline comments show you exactly what changed and what looks wrong.
- π Build a habit, ship better code. Regular review β fewer bugs β more robust code β better results in your team.
- π Why git? Git is universal. Every editor, every IDE, every AIβ¦
