What happened
AI digest
On October 16, Hacker News' front page covered Sygal, a document conversion tool that turns 29 formats, including PDFs, scans and web pages, into Markdown and structured JSON, with a desktop app and a CLI. File conversion and the library stay on the local machine, but OCR on images or scans calls a service using the user's own API key, and importing a URL goes online. Results can be previewed, edited, batch-exported and full-text searched.
