I think the ideal future for science publication would be something like:

- some database like arXiv for most all the results, obviously mirrored a few places

- multiple frontends like this!

- no more journals: replace journal review with an endorsement from a similar organization, on the arXiv (or similar) page

Thanks for taking one of the required steps to making this possible!

I like the concept. My feedback is to increase the color contrast. It's very difficult to read with the light gray text on light background. I'm using Firefox on Ubuntu.

Yeah the contrast needs to be improved: https://webaim.org/resources/contrastchecker/?fcolor=A6ADBB&...

Looks neat, is this a self-made thing or a project one could use to deploy a similar forum? I've been noodling on the idea of a HN style board for a non-tech audience that is older. I think the more primitive UI will resonate with the target demographic.

Yours looks too nice for my use case honestly :) Weird complement but I really do like how it looks, you did a good job.
