Show HN: I built a tool that explains ArXiv papers in simple language
arxivexplained.com
What it does: It's a free app with audio explanations of the latest AI research papers. Each paper gets a ~5 minute breakdown in simple language - no jargon, just clear explanations of what the researchers did and why it matters. Key feature: The app already comes loaded with all the popular and recent AI papers, so you can browse and discover the latest research right away. You don't need to bring your own papers - just open the app and start exploring what's new in AI.
How I use it: I pop in my earbuds during my commute or while doing chores and listen to explanations of cutting-edge research. It's like having someone explain the latest breakthroughs to you in plain English.
You can also paste any arXiv link to get a custom explanation, but most people just browse the curated collection of recent papers that's already there. Technical note: It uses AI to analyze papers and generate natural-sounding audio explanations focused on clarity over complexity.
Would love to hear your feedback, especially if you try it with papers from your field!
