hackpluson LibFlow

Hello everyone,

I am building a website ( http://libflow.com ) to share free documents, textbooks and papers. The purpose of it is to host free material that can be readily accessed with no paywalls, subscriptions forms or ads. This started as a personal project, but it is growing and I would like to know if there is someone who would like to support it. It is not a for-profit project, and does not have a business model. However, I have a long term goal of (financially) supporting the creation of more free materials (e.g. textbooks) and make them available for free. Therefore I am also interested in the possibility of generating some revenue without ads.

hackpluson How to Read Proofs Faster: A Summary of Useful Advice

Several years ago I started a website called WTFormula.com Unfortunately I was the only contributor, and since I'm not a mathematician my contributions were very few. I haven't been able to convince other people with helping writing content, and eventually I dropped it for lack in interest (the domain is also available again). I still believe it would be a very useful and nice tool to have, though.

Currently I'm working on http://libflow.com (on my spare time) and I have a lot of ideas to improve it (this "rap genius for research papers" was one of the possible improvements I had in mind). Unfortunately the project is on hold because I currently don't have the money to move it to a dedicated server and enough free time to make major changes to the site.
