This is super cool. I've often wondered why google scholar didn't use pagerank over the citations... and now you've done it! Props!

Very cool! Would it be possible to order category filters alphabetically?

Yes, totally! That's a great input, thanks!

Nice. Is this open source and/or are you looking for help in any way?

Thanks! That's something we are considering, given how many people mentioned it and offered help. Right now, the help we need is writing a paper detailing all aspects of the system and comparing it with similar systems. We have a group in Slack: if you want to contribute, that would be great!

Love the site, but the one thing I am missing is instantly seeing what papers are trending right now, instead of having to manually select a timeframe. Think hacker news frontpage. Would be interesting to add a "hot" filter, or similar. Average weighting by exponential decay over time? Not sure how you usually do that with pagerank.

Thanks! Yes, that's in the roadmap; I believe it will be complete in 3-4 cycles. Right now, we are finishing the topics module. It will provide us with more granular filtering tools, and enable us to also discover trending topics, etc. It will be eye-opening... but it's taking longer than expected because of the dataset size.

have you got a public API? id love to add this data to a free app i put together.

Not yet... great idea, thanks! We’ll add to the roadmap
