Hey Hugo, do you have an email I could reach you at? I've been thinking/working on these problems for 3 years now and would love to find some smart people to partner with to further develop the ideas. I don't have much to show publicly right now, but https://intpub.org/ https://intpub.org/ (soon to be scipub.app) is the start.

Oh wow I'm going to be watching your github repo, what you're doing looks interesting. Do you have any plans to implement some search functionality to help find documents, or is it about permissionless publishing only?

  Great question! Search is (I believe) a second-order problem. Once permissionless publishing is solved, extensions can be built onto the core protocol. In my opinion, indexing and ranking services work much better as ancillary services. The bundling of indexing and ranking with core protocol features is one of my main contentions with the Coinbase-backed "Research Hub" project/company (https://researchhub.org https://researchhub.org). If you think about it, journals are also important services Also, git repo link needs to be updated, and there's nothing there right now really, but https://github.com/scipubapp https://github.com/scipubapp is the right link!

If you think about it, journals are important services, but they serve two functions right now: 1. Publication/information & data storage 2. Information indexing and ranking Really, I think the whole contention about open/closed science is directed in the wrong place. Journals shouldn't be hosting information! They should be indexing and ranking information. The information should be stored on an open, decentralized substrate where no one needs to go through authentication steps to view it. Then, journals can maintain their closed/open persuasions and offer bundled services and discovery and maintain their clout without really needing to change their core offering. Also, the git repo link needs to be updated, and there's nothing there right now really, but https://github.com/scipubapp https://github.com/scipubapp is the right link!
