Introducing OpenScholarXIV

We're excited to announce that we've taken ownership of the previously known open-source app ScholArxiv, now OpenScholarXIV, to actively update and maintain it! 🎉

We believe open source plays a vital role in research, and we want to make a committed impact by keeping this tool reliable, accessible, and useful for researchers, students, and curious readers.

OpenScholarXIV helps users find, read, bookmark, summarize, and discuss arXiv papers with AI. Our focus moving forward is to improve the app steadily, maintain the codebase, fix issues, refresh the experience, and build features that support focused research workflows.

The app launched two years ago, and maintenance has been stagnant for the past year. Nonetheless, it has gathered over 1.1k GitHub stars and continues to receive regular mentions from the research and open-source communities. That is why we’re stepping in to actively maintain and improve it.

We've started by
• Updating all project dependencies to the latest
• Fixing issues and bugs filed
• Adding categories into papers
• Adding a model selector
• and more UI polis

OpenScholarXIV deserves a stable future, and we want to keep building on the value it already created for researchers, students, and anyone exploring academic papers.
