Inspiration

I am currently writing a research paper, and researching takes too much time.

What it does

It first searches google for the topic of you entered, then it returns the summary and citation of the results.

How I built it

The front end is built with ReactJS. The backend is python flask server

Challenges I ran into

• React hook useEffect method would always trigger when the states change even I specify a dep.
• Sources were not filtered
• The searching and fetching of website takes too much time initially: ~20 seconds

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

• improved the speed on the backend to around 3 seconds

What I learned

• python flask
• ReactJS

What's next for TL;DR

• Support more citation formats
• Improve time efficiency on searches
• Improve accuracy of summaries
• Add scholarly sources
• Implementing credibility checking

Built With

• flask
• google
• pymongo
• python
• react
