Title: Hey HN!
I&#x27;m Prajwal, the co-creator of Desklamp! I just completed my undergrad, which is where we got the idea for Desklamp.
A bunch of friends and I built this because we hated the experience of studying on our laptops. It was boring, and we found ourselves staring at the screen for hours on end with no output to show for it.<p>To make reading more engaging and to make sure we could remember what we read, we built a note-making system integrated with a PDF reader. The aim is to encourage you to make notes! LaTeX support, clipping out sections from the document, linking notes to sections in the PDF - everything is designed to really make sure you have no excuse to not make notes as you read.<p>We&#x27;ve also added a lot of fixes for minor inconveniences (scrolling across sections, hitting the wrong page number, light mode, viewing your highlights at a glance). And all of this is collaborative, because that just makes notes even more useful.<p>It&#x27;s free for a while - we want to know what the rest of you think! Feedback can only help us make this even better. It&#x27;s available as a web-app and a desktop app for Mac and Windows (Linux users, mail us, we&#x27;re operating on a very closed beta right now).
