I really like arxiv-sanity. I browse the trending lists and also like to surf the “similar papers” links

I wish there was something similar for the general literature, it only indexes like the ML and vision related communities

There is something general: https://arxivist.com/

Interface is much less polished than ArXiv-sanity. It can also send a daily email of the top 5 for you, which I find very useful.

Cool service, thanks!

I suppose I should also elaborate, one hangup that I have is that my primary field (materials, specifically alloy design) doesn’t really have a strong preprint culture. So access to fulltext to build something like this covering non-ML-adjacent materials research is a real problem.

I’ve thought about pulling titles and abstracts from crossref or something, but I’ve never really gotten around to trying to make it with in earnest
