For everyone that doesn't know, ScholarXIV is an AI powered, minimal and very powerful research paper discovery and exploration tool.

It's got a very loved and straightforward experience by early testers and the most powerful feature is the ability to select multiple research papers and use AI to get more insight and understanding about them.

You can literally select any amount of research paper, then ask the AI to analyze and give you insights and comparisons.

You don't have to have any friction when trying to understand research papers, the chat box is right there when you need it and gone when you don't.

Idk if you know him but, Phil Wang, which's like a renowned AI researcher is trying out ScholarXIV.

He doesn't star many projects but starred the mobile app version of ScholarXIV previously. Now I sent him the web version and he's gonna try it out and send me feedbacks.

Oh man, I really hope he likes it.

ScholarXIV Anonymous Browsing
ScholarXIV.com

One of the main complaints people had while trying out scholarXIV is logging in and exposing their email and information even though that information is just their full name and email.

Now I have added anonymous browsing. It will generate a temp email, save it in your browser's session and let you get the full experience without using your true logins.

Remember tho, if you clear your cache/session you can't access the same anonymous login.

If it gets more upvotes and gets on the frontpage, this'd be great!

I am super happy to announce that ScholarXIV.com has gotten an amazing Angel Investor.

He is investing $10k for 8% of the company at a post-money evaluation of $125k, and also apart from the investment, this investor is paying and helping with the incorporation of the company.

The investor is very incredible first for reaching out and then in that the investment is solely based on me and not on the product itself. Meaning I could pivot, I could decide the date I'll accept the investment and just makes things very flexible for me.

Currently I have decided to deal with the investment after YC applications which the investor is completely fine with but I have now started speeding up the company formation process in the US while expenses are covered by the Angel Investor.

There's still so much to go, so many decisions to make and most importantly so much to build. But even being in this spot and position is all God's good doing and grace. I also would like to thank all of you for the support and encouragement.

This's wonderful news and it's all credits to God.

Nearing 600 registered users now, what that means is that people were trying out so many things and things broke.

So been keeping notes on these errors and spent the night handling all of them.

One of the errors I had and was reported the most was that the MongoDB connection kept closing (MongoDB Topology Closed) and ScholarXIV would be offline, which is a major issue.

In Vercel, any function is short lived and terminated soon. Which was what I was doing for the MongoDB connection. Vercel would close it if no one's online on ScholarXIV for like a few minutes. So this's something to keep an eye for.

Now I've handled all the error logs I've seen, and I don't have to worry about it being offline. Keep telling me feedbacks, UI or non-UI issues. Thanks.

Indexed Papers
Let me quickly explain why indexed papers matter.

So the API arXiv provides is very slow and just wastes so much time. But in ScholarXIV, I take the load off of arXiv and store indexed papers.

Now the front page shows recommended papers, these are already indexed so you can get to do things super fast.

Another is when people keep searching papers, they're all indexed making further searches even faster.

This is a big advantage for using ScholarXIV over self-hosting it or even other services.

So currently having 4.4k papers is pretty useful for using the platform and also the AI features.
