I have to admit, I am normally not impressed by "Show HN"s from a practical viewpoint (most are technical demos, I think), but your page really stood out. I really like, that you keep it simple and allow to transfer the pages. A feature request I would have if I published open-access papers (and that is fortunately more and more the case) would be to host them on your page. Maybe that's already possible (i.e. adding static files), then I have nothing to complain. :)

Open accessing papers should not be done (only) on personnal web pages. Those may disappear and are less discoverable (or at least, the world depends on Google Scholar to find such papers, which is a single point-of-failure if Google discontinues the service sole day). Instead, open access papers should be hosted in open repositories, which are dedicated to the organization and the conservation of scientific documents. I'm of course talking about services that are supported by public institutions, like arXiv, HAL, Zenodo, etc. Not of those made by startups that may one day be bought by Evilseer (such as Academia.edu and ResearchGate).
