Research papers are insanely hard to read.
I currently have a solution to try to fix this, it's still in pre-alpha stage:
www.wikipaper.org
If any HN'ers has time to help me I'd be much appreciative. This is a big problem and can't really be solved via commercial means, it can only work as an open-source project.
There's been many, many attempts to solve this problem in the past but all of them have been fairly limited in featureset & momentum.

- WikiPaperGuy 10y agoHere's the list: - The lack of an ability to print videos/animations on a piece of paper. Oftentimes, complex concepts require a graphical animation (or video) to be succinctly conveyed. - Papers are often written in a non-native tongue. - Overly complex words or inappropriate words to appear more sophisticated. This doesn't necessarily correspond to field jargon. - "Filler" material added in order to meet the page count recommendation... or conversely, trying to pack too much in. - Authors not having the mindset of explaining complex details in a straightforward format. - The "blowing up" of simple equations in order to make them look more complex.
