First impression is positive; relevant results and a reasonably straight-forward UI. I appreciate the warning about the slow-loading graph (which did load after a minute or two).

Two things that might be tweaked:

* The search didn't behave in an ergonomic way: I typed a query ("graph neural networks") and great relevant stuff came up immediately in the dropdown. When I hit enter, however, I got an error that read "Invalid search: Check your spelling, enter a DOI, or another paper identifier or." I would have expected my action to take me to a search results page that listed what I saw in the dropdown (which I regard as a preview of the top hits) so that I could peruse the selection carefully.

* I wanted to load a paper to take a look at it and it took me a while to realize that I could click the "Yes" above "Open Access" to download it. Since one of the big use cases for a site like this is the eventual consumption of these papers, I suggest making a "read/download paper" call to action more explicit.

Thanks for the feedback. #1 might be some sort of bug. #2 Good call!
