I made an open source website to read free scientific papers (lemmy.ml)

I've been wanting to make a modern and intuitive client for reading papers for a while. A huge thanks to arXiv for all they do

Check it out at OpenParchment. You can find the code here.

Enjoy and let me know what you think!

I'm confused. Anyone can read arXiv or Biorxiv. Why do we need a secondary website?

Thanks for your question! I wanted to bring a more modern UI + add features that I personally wanted while reading scientific papers such as saving bookmarks & creating custom Lists based on specific tags.

It seems the point is the different UI.
