I know these are all arxiv.org so far, but if you want to include research papers beyond that plaform, can I encourage you to use DOIs for links? It'll make links persistent and easy to cross-reference with citations and other systems. I did a spot check of the 14 links you have so far all have DOIs. I'm happy to give advice!

This is cool! I suggest adding some more hints to indicate how important/relevant different papers are. Maybe some tags to classify papers in different fields, and number of citations or amount of discussions online as a metric of how big a paper is? (I know that's not a great metric but I think it's still better than seeing a bunch of papers and not knowing which ones are worth reading). You can also spark discussions. Seeing "0 comments" discourages anyone to look at the comments, but even having an AI-generated summary as a comment can be encouraging and spark discussions. Just a thought.

The problem is, there are way too much papers, even if you focus already to some domain, like deep learning. But this seems to be completely open to any topic?

For machine learning, https://www.reddit.com/r/MachineLearning/ is currently a good place, or Twitter and following some of the authors you are interested in, or just set some Google Scholar alerts.
