Show HN: Nextpage – a split-pane desktop app to feed search results into AI chat

A developer using the username cantouch has released Nextpage, a desktop application designed to stream search results into AI chat windows side-by-side. The app debuted on Hacker News as a Show HN post, where it presents a split-pane interface that lets users browse web search results on one side while feeding content into an AI assistant on the other.

Nextpage addresses a friction point in AI research workflows: copying and pasting results from search engines into chat interfaces one at a time. By pairing a search pane with a chat pane in a single window, the tool aims to reduce context-switching and let users feed multiple sources into language models more fluidly. The GitHub repository houses the source code and documentation for the project.

The tool operates as a standalone desktop app, allowing users to pipe web search results—presumably from standard search engines—into AI chat interfaces without leaving the application. This workflow is particularly relevant for researchers, writers, and developers who rely on both web search and AI assistants to gather and synthesize information. The split-pane design is a deliberate departure from the tab-switching or copy-paste patterns that dominate current workflows.

What's next remains unclear from the initial launch. The project's GitHub presence suggests the creator is open to community feedback and contributions, but no roadmap or expansion plans are detailed in the Show HN post.
