The score comes from our model.

• Show HN: Local, Tracked, Versioned, Legal Research Databases · score 7.3

  Words to Data is a Rust-based system that builds versioned, evidence-linked databases of the U.S. Code and amending public laws, enabling agents to answer legal questions with quotable provenance. It combines rule-based matching of bill markup to changes in the Code, a CLI for querying, and an agent playbook, with strong emphasis on transparency and verifiability.

• Show HN: CaseCite – Free RAG caselaw research and document analysis for lawyers · score 7.3

  CaseCite is a self-hosted legal research platform (Elastic License 2.0) that offers RAG-based document Q&A, contract review, drafting, and case-law analytics using BYOK AI providers. It differentiates itself through privacy-conscious design, hybrid semantic+BM25 retrieval, integrated third-party document imports, and a multi-tool dashboard built on an extensible FastAPI stack. It is an ambitious, feature-dense product that fills a gap for privacy-sensitive legal teams.

• Show HN: AA (a.k.a. AutoApply) – open-source job-hunt tool and research project · score 6.5

  AutoApply (AA) is a local, deterministic web-interface comprehension system that uses geometric algorithms (Hungarian assignment, convex hulls, structural hashing) to operate unfamiliar web forms without per-site selectors or network AI. It aims to automate job applications and record research data, but has never successfully submitted an application due to CAPTCHA and login barriers. The project's transparency about its limitations and its novel constraint-based approach make it an interesting research prototype.

• Show HN: What research is your code standing on? · score 6.3

  Standing on is a web tool that maps a GitHub repository's Python code and citations to the underlying research papers, using two AI models (Claude and Codex) to identify papers and their lineage, with a consensus-based link visualization. It is interesting for bridging code provenance and academic literature, but the README is minimal and the reliance on proprietary models limits transparency.
