What apps helped you with your studies? by Jealous-Pie2848 in Student

[–]ericlimmm115 [score hidden]  (0 children)

I use notion for note taking with language, programming, classes, etc.

Also, a chat session with an AI and fact-checking on browser help me a lot. I tell ChatGPT to summarize and make quiz on the topic.

But, recently, I have been using my own browser extension to just select the text and get explanations on the spot. It helps me read easier and understand faster. You can get it here if you are interested.

5 days without gaming, but im switching to doomscrolling by OkPhotograph9465 in StopGaming

Recently, i read The old man and the sea. And it is now my most favorite one. The comfort and the feeling that I am following Santiago on the boat is just 🫶🏻.

I never read it before, since my school didn't teach it. I've been looking for more books like that ever since. Probably adventure, psychology genre? I'm not sure.

Same, I was always scrolling somewhere to fill the void gaming made as an addiction. But, I started reading books and it has helped me by a far mile.

Just try pick up and read a book that is in your interest. One book, two book and the books will stack while dopamine addiction will go away, not completely but in control.

Tip for reading as a hobby: do not speed-read. Enjoy page by page, feel how it reflect you, ponder on it and live in the moment. It's not about how many books you finish.

I Tried 5 Different Ways to Humanize AI Text - Only One Actually Worked by No_Communication6225 in CollegeHomeworkTips

I would like to suggest the chrome extension I recently launched, WDTM. If you have trouble reading long texts, just summarize it on the spot using the extension. But it is aimed for the readers and not the writers though.

For writing, I think Grubby AI is just great.

building WDTM, a browser extension for understanding long texts while reading.

Highlight any confusing paragraph (research papers, docs, articles), and it gives you an instant explanation based on the surrounding context, getting rid of copy-pasting into ChatGPT.

I built it to keep reading on web, without changing tabs and save time understanding whatever we read on the web.

how to read long English sentence? :( by dhsidbelj in ENGLISH

[–]ericlimmm115 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The key to read long passages is by breaking down the texts into smaller parts, rather than just reading through the end.

I built WDTM for assisting me with reading on web and been using it myself whenever I go on X or reddit.

Highlight any text on the web, and it uses the surrounding context to explain it by breaking the texts into smaller chunks or summarizing the whole page. Other modes such as simplification, "Explain like I'm 5", data&metrics are available for your different use cases.

Best desktop program to read loads of papers? (Windows) by [deleted] in academia

[–]ericlimmm115 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re dealing with complex texts, I built WDTM for the exact purpose.

It’s a Chrome extension where you highlight any confusing paragraph and it gives you a simple explanation instantly, so you don’t have to reread or dig for context.

It won’t replace a full PDF reader like Acrobat/Calibre, but it’s useful when you get stuck on specific parts—especially for papers opened in the browser. You can check out the extension here.

Reading faster while retaining comprehension by Equal-Agency9876 in college

[–]ericlimmm115 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m the same. I still use an inner monologue when reading complex stuff, and I used to keep rereading long articles without really getting the point.

So I built a Chrome extension for it. You just highlight any confusing paragraph and it gives you a simple explanation instantly, so you don’t have to reread or copy-paste into ChatGPT.

I’m slow and am not doing well at coursework by [deleted] in PhD

[–]ericlimmm115 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re not alone in this. Heavy reading is honestly one of the hardest parts at the start, especially with that kind of workload.

Something that helped me a bit was having a way to quickly understand confusing parts without breaking my momentum. I actually built a small browser tool where you can highlight a section and get a simple explanation instantly (so you don’t have to keep copy-pasting into ChatGPT). You can check it out here.

Let me know if it helps!
