I love the idea. There are quite a few people who regularly submit research papers to HN, usually as pdf files, but papers take more effort than articles, so seldom is there much uptake or discussion. You might want to look at the past pdf submissions on HN to help build up your library of papers. The Algolia HN Serarch does really good with this: https://hn.algolia.com/?q=#!/all/forever/prefix/0/pdf https://hn.algolia.com/?q=#!/all/forever/prefix/0/pdf At present, I know of no way to find all of the HN submissions of abstracts, but searching for sites known for having abstracts (along with freely available papers) like arxiv.org should help find some more. https://hn.algolia.com/?q=#!/all/forever/prefix/0/arxiv.org https://hn.algolia.com/?q=#!/all/forever/prefix/0/arxiv.org Good Luck!
