nice abstraction for listening to abstracts!
would really like a "curated playlist" option. The ability to filter based on "Topics" is a step in that direction and a further vetting down of options will make the app more usable.
nitpick: the TTS ends up pronouncing the markup as well. maybe the abstract can be cleaned before being passed through the TTS-generator.
eg. for the line: "This paper concerns designing distributed algorithms that are {\em singularly optimal}"
the "em" ends up on the audio and is confusing. refer: https://arxiv.org/abs/2108.02197
(also, ability to permalink to the paper on the papertime.app will help.)
