Show HN: TikTok but for Scientific Papers (andreaturchet.github.io)

Papel has emerged as a novel platform designed to revolutionize the way researchers interact with academic papers, drawing parallels to TikTok's approach with social media. This app enhances personalized paper discovery through AI algorithms that rank papers based on individual interests, trending topics, and community engagement. Users can customize their feed to prioritize the latest research or recommendations, fostering a dynamic learning environment. Significantly, Papel incorporates on-device AI capabilities, enabling users to ask questions about papers and receive answers directly from the PDFs, leveraging local machine learning models for enhanced understanding. Additionally, the platform gamifies the research experience with AI-generated quizzes that allow users to earn experience points and climb an academic ranking system, all while enabling interaction through likes, comments, and direct messaging. As it gears up for launch, Papel promises to create a more engaging and community-driven space for academic research, potentially transforming how scholars access and connect over scientific literature.
