Show HN: A deep reading tool for those engaging with cutting-edge knowledge

DenseWiki is an experimental deep reading tool.

It aims to amplify human ability to read hard content (research papers, technical articles etc) OUTSIDE our expertise, by rapidly learning new disciplines on the fly.

Here's the key idea (as demonstrated in the video on the website):

When you read something in a new discipline (let's say a paper using AI for biochem, and you nothing about biochem), the challenge is jumping right into an OCEAN of knowledge. You're prone to feel lost and overwhelmed.

DenseWiki's approach is that using the browser extension, if you come across any jargon, it identifies the ONLY few relevant concepts / knowledge you need at that moment, help you quickly become familiar with those few concepts with one click, and let you continue reading.

So as you read, you're able to INCREMENTALLY build your familiarity with the new field and SMOOTHLY expand your knowledge graph, without getting lost — and you're able to engage with the content you want from day 1!

Furthermore, it uses gamification to help you build a consistent deep reading habit.

It also simultaneously builds a global knowledge graph — i.e. if you identify a novel concept introduced in a paper that came out only yesterday, you can add it to DenseWiki immediately. So as more people use it, it can become more current than any LLM or blog or web encyclopedia over time.

Looking forward to feedback.

P.S. You'll have to download a browser extension, but if you don't want to sign up, you can log into this test account directly:
