Hi Product Hunters! I'm Jiancong, building Page2Top.

by

Hi everyone!

I'm Jiancong, an indie builder and AI enthusiast.

For years, I've loved reading books, research papers, and long-form articles. The problem wasn't finding good content—it was turning everything I learned into presentations that I could actually share.

I tried many AI presentation tools, and while they were great at making beautiful slides, they all seemed to start from a short prompt.

My workflow was different.

Most of the time I already had hundreds of pages of content—a book, a PDF, a research report, or scattered notes.

The hardest part wasn't designing slides.

It was understanding the content, extracting the key ideas, and organizing them into a clear presentation.

That's why I started building Page2Top.

Looking forward to meeting everyone! 👋

welcome jiancong! 👋 the “start from a short prompt” problem is real — most ai deck tools hallucinate structure. curious how page2top handles long source docs without losing the thread. rooting for you!

This feels useful because the hard part is usually not making the slides look good.

It’s keeping the structure of the source material intact.

For long PDFs, books, research reports, or scattered notes, the real question may be:

can Page2Top preserve the main argument, key evidence, and flow without turning everything into a generic summary?

A small test could be:

Find 5 people who have a real output deadline this week:

  • one student preparing a class presentation;

  • one researcher turning a paper into slides;

  • one founder summarizing a market report;

  • one educator preparing study materials;

  • one person with scattered notes they need to turn into something shareable.

Ask each person to give one real source file or note set.

Before generating polished slides, only generate the outline first.

Then watch:

  1. does the outline keep the main thread;

  2. does it miss any important idea;

  3. does the user ask for page references or citations;

  4. would they use the outline as the first draft;

  5. do they want slides, study notes, audiobook, or a knowledge map next?

If people only say “AI slides are useful,” that’s still weak.

If they trust the outline from a real source document, that’s a much stronger signal for what Page2Top should lead with.
