Back in September, I took a small leap and signed up for a hackathon. I’m no developer by trade, but that’s exactly why I did it.
I wanted to prove a point —that coding is no longer some exclusive skill. The truth is, it’s been a while that it’s not. Anyone can build something from scratch now.
Using Meta’s Llama LLM, I built a simple web app that turns scientific papers into flashcards; turning all the dense jargon and complex ideas from a PDF or link into bite-sized, shareable pieces of content for social media. The goal is to help busy scientists do their science communication.
If you want to learn more about this project, I’ve laid it all out on this page:

It is a super simple app by real developers’ standards, but it’s a small testament to the idea that today the barrier of coding is non-existent.
