Hey Hugo, do you have an email I could reach you at? I've been thinking/working on these problems for 3 years now and would love to find some smart people to partner with to further develop the ideas. I don't have much to show publicly right now, but https://intpub.org/ (soon to be scipub.app) is the start.

From the repo [1]: "research publishing platform that is community based, transparent and censorship resistant " (my emphasis) "Community members moderate the platform and can increase or decrease the visibility of the uploaded files " (again, my emphasis) [1] https://github.com/hugoroussel/xirva

>censorship resistant

My emphasis.

"You can upload your research and publish it on the open web. Members of the community will be able to vote on your research to raise its visibility." Oh dear.

A perfect system? No, but think about how people must have felt about Wikipedia on launch.

Love this idea.

Actually I don't think science has democratic nature. Yes we do somehow do that as a theory would still need to be accepted widely. But in reality one person can have the correct idea while all others disagree. Still this person is doing it right.

I believe science is a democratic process. If someone has the correct idea but communicates it poorly, so poorly that others in the field disagree, then this person is doing it wrong. (Thinking specifically of https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shinichi_Mochizuki )
