This is awesome! Thanks for making this.

One feature that would make it super useful is to have 30-60 seconds of audio (AI generated) that tells me enough high level info about the paper to know whether I want to go deeper (and 'save for later' button to go with). That way a user can use it while commuting or driving.

Again, really cool idea that helps people learn things instead of wasting time on same old tiktoks/reels. Nicely done, OP!

Thank you so much! :)

I’ll definitely try to add audio. Local TTS models are getting better and I guess I can feed the headline to create a podcast-like feed

Local TTS has become incredibly good lately. Check out some content on locallama if you haven't. I tried a couple and was blown away by how good some of them were!

Best of luck, world needs more content like yours!
