Hacker News Reader

Not qualifying as a "Hacker News" for Research / Sci

1) Specific topics -- HN is a general " what matters to startup kids " ( yes hard science is thicker )

2) You're wanting a better way to publish papers? Are you trying to get additional funding for this research?

3) HN has become a default bc its a sorting method for VC to dole out cash. Is the NSF reading?

I think you're in the right mindset but tell me what you're trying to do here.

We are trying to build a system where users can share papers (both published and preprint) they deem important, write a short review/commentary on the paper: why it is good or not good, what else can be done, whether the experiment can be reproduced, is the conclusion solid or not, etc, then people can comment on the paper, comment on the reviews, upvote/downvote, any everything.

This is our fun side project, and we just launched 3 days ago, so badly need feedback from the community. Thanks for your comment!
