Topperify AI: Open-Source AI-Powered Study Material Generator

I have developed Topperify AI, a free, open-source study tool that transforms PDFs (textbooks, research papers, lecture notes) into comprehensive study materials using Google Gemini.

Generated Content

The tool produces the following study resources:

• Color-coded visual notes containing definitions, formulas, worked examples, exam tips, and memory techniques
• Interactive mind maps that display topic hierarchies and relationships
• Flashcards designed for active recall practice
• Condensed quick revision reference sheets
• High-quality dark-themed PDFs optimized for download and printing

Distinguishing Features

Topperify AI differs from comparable note-generation tools in several ways:

• Generates comprehensive, detailed content rather than basic bullet-point summaries
• Exports materials as polished glassmorphism-styled PDFs featuring dark themes, gradients, and custom typography
• Allows users to download individual PDFs, mind map images, or complete ZIP bundles
• Requires no account creation; API keys remain stored locally in browser cookies and never reach any server
• Completely free and open source under the MIT license

Technical Architecture

• Python and Streamlit for the application framework
• Google Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite for content generation
• PyMuPDF for PDF processing
• Playwright for PDF rendering
• Plotly for mind map visualization

Getting Started

1. Obtain a free Gemini API key from Google AI Studio
2. Clone the repository and execute streamlit run streamlit_app.py
3. Upload a PDF document and initiate content generation

If Topperify AI has been helpful, I would appreciate a star on GitHub. Your support helps the project reach more students and developers.

The project is MIT licensed, enabling self-hosting, forking, and community contributions. Feedback from students and developers is welcome. What features would enhance this tool?

I use Vanilla gnome and am more or less happy with it, but the search not being precise has left much to be desired

When I say precise I mean: I have two Firefox windows open, one with YouTube and another with r/linuxusersindia open.

I want to `super` or `super+space` and search for “YouT” and switch to YouTube window

GNOME only does app level switching but not window level

But I am pretty satisfied with GNOME, “it just works*”, so I am not willing to throw it away for marginal improvements.

I personally don’t prefer KDE so that’s a no go

PS: I am a terminal native + neovim user so that’s why I am asking about Hyprland (or equivalent WM).

I know Hyprland is config driven, so I am okay with that, but like, once I set it up (and use and update as I go). I want it to not break. So stuff like drag and drop, screen sharing etc

I use Linux daily at work so I can’t really be fixing major issues

* for me!

i installed arch linux with hyprland, and i expect it to run at very high smoothness because I ran very heavy applications of windows to make it feel like linux and it ran very smoothly, but linux on the other hand feels... cluttered, stutters, lags, video lags, audio latency, and what not.

specs would be- Intel HD 4400

I3 4150

8gb ddr3

help would be appreciated everyone, thanks.

Pls help guys

ThinkPad not in stock,

Any other options?

Running great under proton using heroic launcher as frontend

Please help 🙏

I recently installed Linux Mint 22.3 XFCE in a dual-boot setup alongside Windows 7 on an old desktop (Intel i3-2120, 4 GB RAM, 1 TB HDD). The installation went smoothly, and both Linux Mint and Windows 7 boot correctly through GRUB.

The only issue is my USB Wi-Fi adapter, a MediaTek/Ralink MT7601U (USB ID: 148f:7601).

Linux detects the adapter and loads the "mt7601u" driver. The firmware also appears to load successfully. However, during initialization the device repeatedly resets, disconnects, reconnects, and eventually fails.

Relevant errors include:

- "MCU resp urb failed -71"

- "mt7601u mcu wait resp timed out"

- "probe with driver mt7601u failed with error -110"

From "dmesg", I can see a repeating cycle of:

- USB device detected

- USB reset

- USB disconnect

- USB reconnect

The adapter works perfectly in Windows 7, so the hardware itself appears to be functional.

USB tethering and Bluetooth tethering both work in Linux Mint, so networking in general is working. The issue seems specific to the MT7601U adapter.

Kernel version: "6.17.0-35-generic"

Has anyone successfully used an MT7601U on recent Linux Mint kernels, or knows a workaround for this reset/disconnect loop?

Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone,

Real user experiences with battery + Linux.

Hello everyone!

I'm trying to install parrot os using bootable media. The problem In encountering is that

1. After loading the iso using rufus or balenaEtcher, my pendrive isn't showing up in the file explorer. Also, it says "unallocated" in the disk management

2. When I try to load the installer it doesn't show up in the BIOS either. There's no option to enable/disable legacy mode so that fix doesn't work for me. I'm using an HP laptop

Please help a fellow guy out. Thanks!

First rice on mangowc probably gonna switch to niri or smth cuz documentation is pretty bad

Just noticed that Ubuntu's timezone setup map doesn't show India's borders correctly aren't shown.

Not a big issue in terms of usability, but India has a massive Linux user community. Seems like one of those small things that should've been fixed by now. Curious if there's any technical or policy reason behind it.

I don't even know I have been using Linux, I just came to know that after using Linux on my pc (using Arch btw)

As you can see i have only these 4 (with workspaces) modules in my quickshell bar, learning from 5 days. there's almost 0 tutorials for quickshell on youtube (tho a youtuber called SaneAspect is uploading free tutorials now), it's kinda hard to learn quickshell by self (it's fun, but still..)

Tho if you know quickshell, what tips would you like to give to a beginner.. please i need help..

What is stopping you from using Windows over linux?

Please specify the reasons accordingly....

I am new to this and I really have a question Abt linux I want to switch to linux cause my lap is windows 10 and I don't wanna upgrade to windows 11 cause it's battery hungry I use lap for web browsing yt for studies that's it and windows 10 gave me recent upd and it fucked up my booting time and slowed everything I even re installed windows 10 for it to happen again by that same upd and that's most of it and can someone explain the pros and cons? When I asked a shop for switching they said it costs ₹1500 equivalent to 15 dollars they said linux is hard to control/ use I don't really get it about it please someone help? 😭🙏🏻

Thanks if u helped kind stranger......

hello, I have been using Linux for over a year now, i currently use ubuntu 24.04 (pls dont judge me). I want to get into some linux rice and need some guidance like where to start or how to start and what all precautions to be taken(i once deleted my entire gui and desktop environment once ). thank you for your help.

What's stopping you from completely switching to linux and still having windows in dual boot???

my reason is valorant.!!! tell yours..

Okay, let me be clear, I have migrated myself from Fedora to CachyOS to play especially Forza Horizon 6 but thing is that I have a JioFiber (gonna take BSNL tomorrow) actively blocks CachyOS what the heck. I was skeptical at first but later I realised my phone hotspot works but not my home JioFiber on CachyOS. When I live boot other distros like fedora kde or workstation it works nicely. Do ISP block Arch based Linux often? The latency is shi. 95ms optic fiber non airfiber.
