My $0.02 try creating an AI powered science channel on YT or insta before spending time on creating a dedicated app.
There are so many papers being written these days that it's difficult to find all the ones that are relevant to your work and interests. Likewise, there's a discoverability problem for authors who are not already well-known. Andrej Karpathy's arXiv Sanity site used to be a decent way of doing this, but sadly it's been down for a while now.
It is an interesting mix though. I am not dismissing it outright. After all, I am driving ford lightning and kinda like ratty..
But the popularity metrics and AI aspects seem like they will cause a bias towards certain types of papers, making potentially useful ones not get found.
Is the gravity set very high or am I getting too old to play Flappy Bird with Transformers?

This looks amazing. I hope Android will be an option.
I am interested to hear if anyone knows why the format may not resonate with researchers or those reading papers in general?
My own reason is that to get value from a "social" site the number of interactions has to be high and of a fast speed for people to continue to engage, which is maybe not possible to hit on research papers.
