Show HN: Gamma PDF – AI-native PDF reader, self-hosted
TL;DR
Author here. I have been reading papers and taking notes for years, using Zotero for the PDFs, Obsidian for the notes, and, recently, an AI chat tab for my questions. Gamma PDF is my attempt to make that one place. In Gamma, you open a paper by simply pasting an arXiv (or DOI) link.
Nauti's Take
Start with a narrow test: import three real papers and verify page citations, figure questions, Zotero synchronization, and Notability export in your actual workflow. For a self-hosted setup, check access control and backups next, then determine exactly which documents the AI is allowed to use as context before moving an entire library.
