I would make your website a daily destination if it had

-- ability for user to add/delete/modify the topic tabs. Let me define the topics of interest.

-- Algolia or similar search box at bottom like HN has

I like the idea! A few things I noted: 1) despite the paged UI, the API call /rest/v1/arxiv_papers?select=*&order=published.desc is downloading all 708 articles. You will find the UI more snappy if you do server-side paging. b) most of the javascript is cached, but not all of it, e.g., page-script.js

you are correct haha, thanks for the feedback will fix this pronto

Trying to create an account, says "Email rate limit exceeded".

Didn't expect this to get so much traction, will upgrade my systems in the next week to handle more load

Means I missed out on my desired username though!

No worries, looks like a cool project, I'll have to come back and try again when it's fixed.

Well, this project still has massive shortcomings.. why not polish it a little bit more before posting ?

Didn't want to spend more time building something that people weren't interested in. But i'm happy it seems a lot of people resonate with the idea. Sorry for the shortcomings, will try to shape things up to be much more usable in the next week.

Strongly agree with your approach: "If you're not embarrassed by the first version of your product, you've launched too late"

Thanks so much everyone for the feedback, did not expect this to get so much support. I know there are a lot of bugs and usability issues, I'll try to fix all this stuff in the next week and post again.
