This is a really cool idea! Is this open source?
Not at the moment, need to think about it.

#122Great idea!
Please let the text wrap. My phone is narrow and I want to read it. How it looks may not match your intent:
Re: Show HN: HackerNews but for research papers
#123You need people talking about the papers. Because they're so dense, I'd focus on just one specific niche topic, and get people versed in that subfield talking about it on there. And start with just 5 papers for people to talk about. Then once you get that going, slowly expand.
I think you're right. I want to find experts in each field who can help me create a 'most important papers' section that people like me (who don't know anything) can go to to understand the most important and 'hottest' ideas and see the discussion around them.
Re: Show HN: HackerNews but for research papers
#124Three thoughts. 1. If you could add a button that makes a search on Google Scholar for the paper so I could find its main publication and reference counter, that would be awesome. 2. I don't like being linked directly to the PDF; I would rather go to the Arkvix page and download from there. 3. What would the policy of publications be? Only open-access papers allowed? Are pre-prints okay, or just peer review? Could on…
Great feedback, thank you!

Re: Show HN: HackerNews but for research papers
#126I would like to search, either by keyword, paper title, venue, DOI, or author. (I was trying to see if any of my papers are on here.)
Noted, thanks

#127How about Bio and Chem as well?
Seconding this, I love HN because it gives a wide gamut of exposure, it's a glorious nexus of information, however as a MolB I'd love to have something more narrow when it comes to narrowing things down to academic work.

#128Feedback: The UI on mobile could be improved. I find the website distracting as a whole. I seems like it was built for children. I think the colors are bad.
Re: Show HN: HackerNews but for research papers
#129My most appreciated feature of HackerNews is that I can use it with JavaScript disabled. I know that I'm in the minority, but I also know several other colleagues and members on this site also browse without JS enabled (so while a minority, it's not just me).
Something to consider, especially when your site is just serving text / aggregating links.

#130The font is too light and difficult to read.
