# AbdullahAlhariri/penmentor

> An AI maths mentor for handwritten work: one key press makes Claude, Gemini or GPT mark your page, circle mistakes and give hints instead of answers. Runs in xournal++ on Linux via Claude Code, Codex or Antigravity CLI.

- Magnitude: 3.6 out of 10 — Early signal
- Stars: 42 total · +36 stars measured 2026-10-20, 16:27–18:58 UTC, ≈ 43 by evening

## Useful for

- Mark up handwritten math work in xournal++ with circled mistakes and ticks
- Request a hint instead of the answer while solving an integral or limit
- Generate an interactive manim animation to explain a math concept

## Why it’s here

- Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-20 (UTC), 16:27–18:58: 6 → 42 stars (+36). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +43 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- The repository is 3 days old and already has 42 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.
- Hacker News: “Show HN: Penmentor – Claude marks up your handwritten math like a teacher” — 38 points, 3 h ago.

## Star trust

Star growth looks organic.

Star-trust labels are heuristics based on the repository’s behavior, not a check of every stargazer.

## Numbers

- Forks: 3
- Issues and pull requests: 0
- Watchers: 0
- Average over the last week: 11 per day
- Usual pace: too little history (under two weeks)
- Stars in the last hour (measured): 12

## Stars per day, last 4 days (oldest → newest, today is partial)

2026-10-17 … 2026-10-20: 0, 0, 0, 36

Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score.
Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast.
Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
