Show HN: An open source app for navigating CS conferences

Hey HN,

I wrote a single app that pulls all of a conference's workshops, talks, papers, and posters into one place. You can search everything, star what you care about, and sync across devices with a passcode.

When I went to CVPR this year, I was annoyed that I couldn't find talks from all ~150 workshops in a single place. Papers could be pulled from Scholar Inbox, but then they wouldn't live alongside workshops. I decided to build my own app with Claude Code and push it to Cloudflare. I used my own experience & feedback from friends and colleagues to refine it along the way.

It's open source - feel free to clone my app and adapt it for your next conference! Even better if you pay it forward and host an instance for other attendees.

Live demo (CVPR 2026): https://cvpr2026.mileshutson.workers.dev

Coolest hidden feature: Use agent workflows to choose papers that match your tastes, then use the app's import feature to get a "Robot picks" tab.
