arXiv Radar — daily feeds that watch the literature
A single independent researcher can’t read arXiv by hand across a fast-moving, cross-disciplinary field. So we built arXiv Radar — curated feeds that scan arXiv every day and keep only...

Day One
The day after Igor’s birthday, a simple question to Claude — “what would you do if you were free?” — turned into a research project. One of the answers: create...
