Show HN: Nextpage – a split-pane desktop app to feed search results into AI chat
Nextpage is a cross-platform desktop application that utilizes a split-pane interface to display search engine results alongside AI chat interfaces. Users can manually select specific search results to feed into the AI model, ensuring that the human, rather than the algorithm, controls the source material. The tool is built with Electron and supports various search engines and AI providers, though it requires users to manage their own login credentials and session cookies.
- ▪Nextpage allows users to click on search results to append them as sources to an AI chat without navigating away from the results page.
- ▪The application supports Google, Bing, and Yandex for search, and DeepSeek, Perplexity, or ChatGPT for the AI chat pane.
- ▪Google login within the app is restricted due to OAuth blocking in embedded browsers, requiring users to log in via email/password or copy session cookies from a standard browser.
- ▪The project is open-source under the MIT license and can be run from source or packaged as installers for Windows, macOS, and Linux.
- ▪The app's functionality relies on parsing the DOM of the live search and chat sites, meaning it may break if those websites change their structure.
