Ah I searched for similar sites before making this but missed these, thanks for sharing them! Pubpeer describes itself as for researchers/scientists but Peerlibrary seems to be pretty close.
A little difference in intent: The idea I had in mind wasn't for someone to particularly do research/collaborate in a field, but just to discover interesting/enlightening papers to read given the urge to learn, in-depth, something new. I thought about attaching a "pre-requisites" fields or "difficulty" field but I wasn't sure if that'd work. The inspiration was just some people posting in my school's Computer Science group that they wanted to start reading research papers, asking where to start. Hopefully in the near future the "Most Favorite" will be a good list to begin with.
- paletoy 12y agoNot wanting to discourage you, but reddit.com/r/science does something pretty similar and very successfully - they have 6 million subscribers ,many comm enters are scientists, and the comment quality is usually very high , and they have the reddit mail support which is highly conductive to getting responses from people.
