I think we will redesign it in a way Apple Books does this (they also have a streak)

Me too! We actually want to display simplified/summarized abstracts (using LLMs) instead of actual titles

Is it fixed or not? I cannot confirm because I cannot reproduce

> Sounds reasonably handy, do you rely on users to tell you if the LLM generated simplifications are misleading?

Not yet, but this is in our roadmap for sure

> EXCEPT the actual authors would verify and publish specific alternates.

This is also a good one, except that there's already 100s of millions of research papers that need to be summarized. But probably we can ask the audience / researchers themselves to verify summaries once we produce a summary for a particular paper

Thank you :)

Huhuh nice, no worries, I plan to work on this "44 requests" part (just had no time to do that)

> looks very promising

Huh thanks! Do you have any ideas about features or anything?

I have some issues with this "HN is perfectly readable" statement, but I get your point, hopefully we'll find a way to fix this one :)

> what does "Let AI simplify articles, clarify terms, and help you do research" mean?

If you select a text from a paper and click on "Simplify" in a popup, it will try to tell you what it means. The "help you do research" is a more broad part thought huh

> Is it something revolutionary and amazingly useful like that

We (right now a team of two) plan to develop an AI-assisted peer review. What I mean is that we can use LLMs to check for some "bad things" in paper (like small sample size or some weird hypothesis etc) + analyze the comments and the users behind these comments.

> just deciding what to show you in a feed based on past history?

Surely not, but this is what we already have in the product right now

Nope, I'm sorry if I was unclear, I was saying I've removed requirement to click on articles in the feed. This is a bit more complicated task with categories (due to some backend things I need to change), but I do understand the problem

Whoops! Nope, this is actually thanks to NextJS 13 and its hydration

I won't promise we will find a way to fix this (because search (as an example) is a core functionality and cannot be moved elsewhere), but we will try

When hackerone adds a news board

> If there wasn't anything on astronomy

Okay, gotcha, I think I have an idea how to fix this :)

> Most links that reach the front page have something interesting to offer.

Synthical has this functionality (I mean, "Top articles") in the right bar, but yep, I understand what you mean

> now the site is not even up

Well, we're up, no worries

> than just going to HN

This is true, but HN is not focused on science

If you click on an article in a feed, it's still there? Because that's the thing I was referring to

No worries, I've just removed this, now you can freely read any article with no account needed.

> I tried to check out the categories

Hm, okay!

> But when prompted for a login/sign-up, I lost interest.

This is a one I cannot remove that fast (due to the way backend processes these categories), but I'm just curious, why did you loose an interest? I mean, yes, it requires login, and so?

This is a really good point, thank you! Probably our mobile layout sucks

No worries, I've just removed this, now you can read articles with no account needed. Honestly, thanks a lot for the feedback, that's the most valuable thing to have at this stage :)

> more confusing Could you please elaborate?

> had less information on the page Is it a bad thing? I mean, I can add some sort of a setting to display more / less content in different density, is this what you'd want?

Just curious, how would you increase an information density at Synthical without loosing readability?

This is an interesting comparison. I think this depends on the age and habits of a particular user. I mean, I honestly don't like HN's design that much, it looks like a thing from 00's.

No worries, I have just removed it, now you can read articles with no account needed

> login necessary I have just removed it, now you can read articles with no account needed

> I like it Thank you :)

> requires account to view more than homepage No worries, I've just removed this. Now you can read all articles with no account needed. Thank you for the feedback :)
