Most tools I tried (Scholar alerts, RSS, following authors) worked in theory, but in practice they often turned into inbox management or assumed a very narrow field. My work is interdisciplinary, and I wanted a way to notice new papers casually, in short moments, without committing to a full literature search.
So I built a mobile-first reader where papers show up as a feed. You can quickly swipe through recent papers, skim titles/abstracts, and give lightweight feedback (like / skip). The idea isn’t to replace deep reading, but to lower the cost of awareness and help surface things worth a closer look.
It’s still early and opinionated, and I’m sure there are tradeoffs I haven’t thought through. I’d love feedback on:
whether this discovery model makes sense at all,
how people here keep up with papers in practice,
and where this breaks down compared to existing workflows.
Happy to answer questions.
