This is such an awesome idea!

Print-width PDFs can be a pain on mobile in cases when there is no working word-wrapped view.

I frequently would like to follow PDF links on mobile and the example looks good.


Its a great start!

It seems to be using the bibtex tags for the inline citations. They don't stand out clearly enough for my liking, and they also have me worried: have I ever used a tag for someones paper like "XXXnonsense" or "dumbassYYY"?? Knowing myself, well....


Sounds like a case of a broken conversion. You can report these with the "report an issue" button at the bottom of each article.

And feel free to suggest better styling ideas as well. I keep wondering if we should have several themes emphasizing different elements...


Unfortunately I don't have a github account, but in case you will take a report from here. In this paper of mine:

https://ar5iv.labs.arxiv.org/html/2303.05514

The references come inline and not well separated from the text (eg in square brackets) like this:

Recently the world was introduced to PYTHEUS Ruiz-Gonzalez et al. (2022); Arlt, Ruiz-Gonzalez, and Krenn (2022). Like his homophonic namesake, PYTHEUS is an explorer, who in just a few short years has already made new scientific discoveriesArlt, Ruiz-Gonzalez, and Krenn (2022)!

I suspect this is related to me using bibtex poorly in the original or something!

Anyway, great work overall, thanks again :)


I think normal spacing (instead of justified) would make it even easier to read.


really great stuff, if references that are also on arxiv can be found and hyperlinked I'd have so much fun bouncing between papers


Why did it take this long?


Zero full-time people on a project without any dedicated funding.

Search for "welcome to ar5iv!" on youtube for a talk with the full details.


This is beautiful. Bravo!
