Email users papers they might find interesting #2

Open Nearcyan opened 11 months ago

It would be nice if I could subscribe to a feed of papers that I might find interesting.

For example, I can ask to be sent an email any time a paper is published which contains the word 'Diffusion'

Maybe additionally provide the option of RSS feeds as an alternative to email? I'm not very familiar with operating costs but I'd guess it could potentially be cheaper depending on the mail server

Nearcyan commented 11 months ago

That's doable but I'm unsure if RSS readers are commonplace enough for this to be useful to people.

Slack integration could be interesting!

Or, there is an option to make discord or telegram bot. It is also useful!

michaelskyba commented 11 months ago

Not sure how Slack or Telegram automation is usually conducted, but extrapolating from my knowledge of Discord's system, I think it would make sense to first have a documented public API, such that it's easy for third party developers to make arbitrary bots. That would have more leverage than manually implementing things to fit a certain format

Edit: Unless the standard for documentation is just not obfuscating the client-side static/js/main.js, letting people look at the /api/papers JSON responses
