Mm maybe running a local LLM for doing it would be a great idea, I'll try to do that and if it doesn't work well, I'll consider doing it with an API.

Please don't follow the original comments suggestion; I feel that "easily digestible" is not compatible with what makes the idea shine in the first place. Your suggestion delegating such functionality to a local LLM is quite nice as a choice but adding it as a core functionality is quite antithetical to leverage the arXiv part, without which everything reverts back to a bland and generic whateverTok format.

Although the suggestion seems to be aware of the fact and provides both a good reasoning and a quite good solution (progressively deepening explanations), the implicit information and nuance lost in a summary by an unreliable LLM would undeniably turn this from a useful and interesting idea to a cool party trick no one uses for more than 5 minutes.

Yes I strongly agree with this. I also want to read the original abstracts.

Thanks for the feedback, I think that it would be like having 2 modes with a toggle: unhingered summaries from local LLMs or the real summaries.

Cool :) I am a scientist, so having an easier way to parse the abstracts would be most welcome. Keep up the good work.

Thanks! I'll text you here when I add the feature. It wouldn't be core, so I think that having two modes where you can read easily papers with LLms or not will be of great help.

Added!

That would be cool, I'll consider it!

Noted, I'll add it now

Hahaha surely one is building it right now

Yeah, I used Copilot instead of Cursor.

I think I have that now covered, you can try it out and tell me if it works if you want.

I added now the MedRxiv API, you can try it out and tell me if you notice something weird.

I saw that medrxiv has an API so I'll add it too!

About the behaviour of the scroll it's a bit buggy haha but I'll try to fix that, thanks for the feedback.

That would be nice, I'll add it to the roadmap.
