Tired of LLMs citing fake papers? renderscholar is a Google Scholar scraper (inspired by Andrej Karpathy’s rendergit) that pulls real papers, ranks them by relevance/citations/recency, and outputs an HTML file with a Human view for browsing and an LLM view for safe copy-pasting into models.

Please tell me what you think!!

Interesting idea, but should probably revise the title to be prefixed with “Show HN:”.
