Author here. First year CS student at Trinity College Dublin. I Built this because when I was getting into reading research papers I ended up burning a ton of my Claude usage asking questions other people have probably already asked. The website is just a side project and definitely a WIP. Happy to answer questions or take PRs on GitHub.

An option to disable animation and show the paper links in a simple list would be helpful.

		The problem is the background is often times doing a wave motion across the screen. Then the foreground content is doing an in/out undulation on top. So you’re seeing an undulating in/out in every possible direction + the background. And the foreground animations are all at the same time. So it’s not that we’re emphasizing any one thing. We’re emphasizing all of it. The key with animations is in what they’re trying to draw attention to, the character of the movement, and the timing of it. You usually don’t want everything to equally animate at once. I would: • Use background movement that also isn’t a “wave” • Stagger the timing of foreground animations so the main content is emphasized, followed by a pause, followed by the sidebars • Change the nature of the animations so they’re not doing the same essentially thing “zoom and pan” - so have the center zoom and pan, but do something different for the sides.

		Agree on the animation. As an aside, I've seen folks mention respecting reduced animation hints and such in the past and was always curious about this because I've never had any negative experiences with animations... until now! Something about the animations on this site did my brain in while scrolling through the papers, and now I "get it."

I think it'd be interesting to hear what you think the goal of the site is.

Is it just rehosting the list, plus a reformatted copy of the papers? I was hoping you'd have at least annotated them with what you'd learned?

Hey thanks for checking out the website. I did not expect this to get as much attention as it did. I was honestly just planning on having it as a small side project for my friends and some others who would like to get into this kind of stuff. I will definitely annotate them in the future if that is something that people would appreciate. I currently have something like this done for a few papers on my X account.

		I mean, you don't have to annotate them :) Would I love to read annotations? Sure - but it's a boatload of work for you, and if it's just meant as a repo for you and your friends, no need to do a ton of work just because an Internet rando asked. But given the sudden wide audience, a quick "here's what this is for" at the top might be helpful.

why do you care? this is a disingenuous question.
