Thank you for this! Definitely cool to get a better UI for this.
However, I'll say that the biggest pain point w/r/t academic papers isn't Arxiv's interface. It's the papers themselves. PDFs are SO clunky, especially for those of us who enjoy reading on an eink screen. IMHO, the biggest unlock will be when someone figures out a way to easily convert academic PDFs to .epub while preserving the flow of the document.
Still, in the meantime, I'm very glad to have this new project. Thanks again for building! Adding it to my bookmarks
