So I have briefly played around with this and it seems quite neatly engineered. Quick search.
I just have a hard time seeing how this will turn into a sustainable business.
One way of looking at this is that it is a high-end competitor to arxiv-sanity - at least in STEM. I understand that it integrates from many more sources but that actually is a problem.
A brief search for the niche I am in (a subfield of machine learning and comp sci) gives me thousands of results but hardly anything I would consider relevant in scope. It feels more like being inundated with anything remotely relevant, which is the exact opposite of what I want - it is already stressful enough to keep up with arxiv uploads.
I might not understand what the actual use case for this is and who would be the customer (as opposed to the user). Maybe it is more relevant to other fields (especially biology, medicine and so forth) as I have a hard time thinking of anyone in my research circle who would get value out of a subscription here. Then again, this is a highly biased view as STEM has made greater strides in open access than other fields. Nonetheless, I would not be surprised if researchers in other fields might feel inundated with new work just the same.
