The problem

Good research dies in notes. Turning sources into a cited, consistent article takes more manual formatting than the thinking itself.

What we built

  • Content agents with schemas, validators and hooks that block a bad article before it publishes
  • A notebook in a typed markdown format as the source of truth, synced to the website
  • A tool that checks, indexes and imports notes, including converting citations into linked sources
  • A daily sources pipeline from Hacker News, Lobsters, GitHub and arXiv

Stack

  • Next.js
  • Python
  • Markdown
  • Zod
  • Vercel

Where it landed

  • The checking tool has 74 passing tests
  • Powers the research and notes on this site
