# Edwardxlai/easyread

> A local app for reading English-language research papers: it imports PDFs, translates them page by page in the background, and shows the translation with formulas and tables, side-by-side original text, annotations, and AI Q&A. All data stays on your own machine.

- Export annotations to Markdown for Obsidian or Notion

## Why it’s here

- 240 stars so far today, about 343 expected by the end of the day.
- The spike has held for 2 days in a row — not a one-off blip.

- Top new repositories this week: #49.
- About 45 forks a day — people are taking the code.

## Star trust

Star growth looks organic.

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

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.
