Signed up right away, love the idea! One note, generally I think academic papers are heavier than articles on HN. Maybe the person sharing a link should be encouraged to add a note/summary/reason-for-sharing/personal-take-away

Exactly, that's why I think is really important for the authors of a paper to post the paper directly to paperkast. It'll be hub for their paper.

Awesome site, love the brutalist design! Edit: post to https://roastmy.site to get some design feedback if you like!

Definitely. But in general, the design of news aggregator sites is pretty minimalist which is so important as you don't want any disruptions.

This is a great idea. It could really turn into a study group for new papers. You might want to edit your post / title. I don't think I would have known that it was for academic papers if I hadn't have opened the link.

I was thinking that, for example, if there is a neat discussion going on about really detailed stuff in the paper (like one sharp peak in one of the figures or one value in a table), it can be really good resource for the reader of the paper as well. They can look around in the comments. Seperately, if they couldn't find it, they can just ask.

True, but you never know what your users think could be improved until you ask ;)

/r/TrueReddit has a submission statement rule, it's interesting even for the poster to think about why they found given article interesting enough to share

That being said, I'd be afraid it would discourage people from posting. And when it comes to papers, shouldn't the abstract serve this purpose?
