🧠💻 Reimagine the Internet as Self-Organizing Mind Map

Critical times call for critical thinkers to create a crowdsourced argument reasoning dataset, for AI models to recommend research quotes, to evolve crowdsourced chain-of-thought reasoning, to unlock faster ways to read long articles, to monitor developments by topic modeling a knowledge base graph, and to provide a public service of answers to research. Language Models can distill the essence of collective thought into a vector space where every point has a weighted value representing its contribution to the overall decision-making process. AI will show its reasoning based on what sentences and cites it used from the collective research, so that people can see it is aligned with our interests. Research Agents recommend articles for human researchers working alongside AI to develop a summarized topic outline as a public service. The agents monitor for any related articles via web searches for keywords associated with that Topic Model. Imagine uploading a research paper, then the app extracts full text of reference cites and creates topic model and keyword summaries, then monitors that literature base and stores highlights. People will make personal knowledge bases of what influences them to create AI assistants cloning their mind-uploaded perspective and interests in a self-organizing mind map.

🚜📜 Tractor the Text Extractor

1. Main Content Detection: Extract the main content from a URL by combining Mozilla Readability and Postlight Mercury algorithms, utilizing over 100 custom adapters for major sites for article, author, date HTML classes.
2. YouTube Transcript Processing: When a YouTube video URL is detected, retrieve the complete video transcript including both manual captions and auto-generated subtitles, maintaining proper timestamp synchronization.
3. PDF to HTML: Extracts formatted text from PDF with parsing of linebreaks , page headers, footnotes, and section headings. Supports fonts, links, bold, italics, lists, headings, headers, footnotes, and Table of Contents, Quotes, and Code Blocks. Removes repeated headers, links footnote anchors to the footnote, and preserves number of the PDF page with invisible I element. This function uses pdfjs-serverless to work in more environments than PDF.js-based tools: Cloudflare workers, serverless, node.js, and front-end only.
4. Basic HTML Standardization: Transform complex HTML into a simplified reading-mode format of basic HTML, making it ideal for research note archival and focused reading, with headings, images and links.
5. Cite: Identify and extract citation metadata including author names, publication dates, sources, and titles using HTML meta tags and common class name patterns. The system validates author names against a comprehensive database of 90,000 first and last names, distinguishing between personal and organizational authors to properly format citations.

📦 Packages

• ads-in-chat-answers — Sponsored placements for AI chat answers: a labelled product-carousel ad under an answer and one sponsored "Learn more about …" follow-up question, chosen by a relevance-gated, second-price keyword auction that runs after the answer is written. Ships the React components, a self-serve advertiser panel where an LLM proposes the keywords to buy, a Worker-safe handler, and a Vercel demo of how the placements work.

• chat-agent-toolkit — A multi-provider AI agent toolkit that generates language responses, searches the web, extracts content, and manages memory across 10+ LLM providers. It integrates the Vercel AI SDK, Mastra framework, and MCP protocol to orchestrate research agent workflows.

• domain-rank — Looks up top-ranked domains from the Tranco List and CommonCrawl backlink data to retrieve their human-readable source label, influence rank, and favicon. Useful for search/URL autocomplete, bookmark launchers, and domain reputation scoring.

• extract-pdf — Converts a PDF from a URL or ArrayBuffer into clean HTML with structural tagging including headings, lists, footnotes, and code blocks. Slim by default — PDF.js loads at runtime from the pdfjs-serverless CDN build — with optional OCR via IBM's granite-docling-258M model: run all pages through the frontend JS parser, all through Docling, hybrid (a regex scan flags pages with infographics/tables and OCRs only those), or point at the URL of another docling-compatible processor. Ships the Hono HTTP OCR service in its server/ folder. Works in Node.js, Cloudflare Workers, and browser environments.

• extract-cite — Cites any webpage: fast regex/metadata extraction of author, date, title and source, plus an LLM pass (OpenRouter by default) that completes the full APA citation, scores confidence per part, flags parts for review, extracts author qualifications, and formats APA, MLA, Chicago, Harvard, IEEE and BibTeX.

• extract-human-name — Extracts, characterizes, and structures human author names from arbitrary text: tells a person ("Dr. John Doe") from an organization ("The New York Times"), parses name parts (title, first, middle, last, honorific), splits multi-author bylines, and formats APA-style citations. Ships a compact built-in name list by default; the 92k-entry names database (~1.1 MB) loads lazily from a CDN or via the /full entry.

• extract-webpage — Searches, extracts, cites, and outlines web content for a topic using an AI Research Agent. Combines PDF extraction, YouTube transcript extraction, DOM parsing, and LLM-based summarization to produce structured content from arbitrary web pages.

• extract-youtube — A fast, no-browser, serverless-optimized YouTube transcript extractor that fetches subtitles and captions without requiring a headless browser. Supports multiple output formats (SRT, WebVTT) and runs on edge/serverless platforms. Also ships a video library admin API (D1 or in-memory) and React UI: a floating player, a transcript modal, video grid and list components and admin screens, with docs, a live demo and Storybook at youtube.js.org, one Cloudflare Worker built from packages/extract-youtube/site.

• html-renderer-api — A Cloudflare Worker that renders pages with Puppeteer via Browser Rendering. A Durable Object keeps the browser warm and persists cookies per session id, so pages behind a login or a Cloudflare challenge can be scraped, with Swagger UI and an OpenAPI spec on the worker itself.

• notebooklm-api-client — A Cloudflare Worker and on-demand Python container that drive Google's NotebookLM, which has no public API. One authenticated POST endpoint covers list/create/ask/summarize/delete, and a Puppeteer login flow captures the Google session for the container. The container sleeps after 5 minutes idle to conserve cost.

• qwksearch-api-client — An auto-generated TypeScript API client for the QwkSearch platform, built from an OpenAPI specification. Provides typed fetch-based bindings for interacting with the QwkSearch backend API.

• qwksearch-mcp-server — An MCP server that exposes web search, page extraction and JavaScript rendering as tools over stdio, so any MCP client — Claude Desktop, Claude Code, or your own — can search and read the web through QwkSearch.

• reason-editor — A formatted text editor built on Tiptap and Plate (React), published as react-reason-editor, with a toolbar, documents manager, and note outlines. Ships 59 editor extensions on individual subpath exports, 21 locales, remappable shortcuts, drag-and-drop, and collaborative editing via Yjs.

• render-url-to-html — A collection of URL-to-HTML rendering strategies using Cloudflare Browser Rendering, Puppeteer with stealth plugins, and JSDOM. Fetches URLs and returns fully-rendered DOM as HTML, capable of bypassing bot-detection on JavaScript-rendered pages.

• research-agent-ui — The chat research agent UI: conversation window, article reader, search config, file uploads, and chat history, along with the shadcn primitives and icons it depends on. Drops into a Next.js app behind a small config/injection surface for auth, branding, and media-search preferences.

• search-autocomplete — The QwkSearch search box and its autocomplete: query completion from the single fastest search-engine suggest API (picked by a bundled latency benchmark), site suggestions from a ranked domain list, a React SearchBox, dropdown and useAutocomplete hook, and a Worker-safe HTTP handler.

• search-web-api — Provides access to 70+ search engines across 10 categories (web, academic, news, images, etc.) plus a scrape/extract API served via a Hono HTTP server. Includes Hugging Face Transformers integration for AI-powered processing.
