I am not a PhD but I like to read cognitive science and astro papers. I was wondering if there is an annotated version of papers available? Like a rapgenius for academic papers. Anyone know if this exists?

Do you mean like Fermats Library? People can share annotated papers there. There aren't a lot of papers though, but i found some good ones outside of comp-sci recently. 1) https://fermatslibrary.com/s/why-stress-is-bad-for-your-brai... 2) https://fermatslibrary.com/journal_club
A couple of feedback points (which you may already be aware of):
1. I did occasionally find that not enough info was shown for papers to determine if they were really in my areas of interest, so perhaps it's worth a look to see how to show a bit more (my work around was to view the abstract but that kind of defeats to point!)
2. The ability to keep playing whilst you search further pages is cool. However I noticed if you search for a topic that returns lots of papers and you go on to a later page (eg you've navigated to page 4 for example) if you then search for different papers that return fewer hits you are shown a blank page, not necessary because there are no hits but because they don't populate four pages (in the example that I'm on page 4). I'd expect most people would want to return to the start of the results with each search If you end up in the above situation, you can jump back to populated pages but it's not what you'd typically expect as a user.
3. The abstracts often have "\n" sequences present as actual characters in the text, which don't match up with the actual line breaks - presumably they're left over from the source but it looks like they ought to be stripped out.
This is great. Thank you for sharing it! A couple of feedback points (which you may already be aware of): 1.

1. Yeah, there’s not much that the app itself can do about this. My intention is to make it dramatically easy to access the abstract so even if you’re the slightest bit interested in the title you’ll go check it out (on desktop you just have to hover over the abstract link to see it pop up).
2. This navigation + search issue is almost surely a bug. Not sure if I ever tested navigating ahead and doing a search, like you did.
3. Do you remember whether you saw it only on older papers (basically when navigated into further pages within some category)? Long story short, many of the older abstracts are littered with redundant \n characters because of a botched up Postgres data export + imports I did sometime back. Papers in the last week or so should be fine.
There are a lot of AI narrator services you can use to create and record custom podcast. There is one called narrationbox which I specially use to create Audio Books from ebooks. You can use it to record custom podcasts as well.
Wow, that’s neat. I hadn’t heard of narrationbox. I’m also seeing a bit of what look like private podcasts taking off. It’s probably a matter of time at this point.
