The Academic Reader and RSS readers

In comments, Yue Li writes of the Academic Reader:

This seems very similar with a production of Google, the google reader, a quantum specific google reader:)

In the existing site, the main difference between the Academic Reader and RSS readers like the Google Reader is that we have a variety of ways of searching and browsing older papers. This means the Academic Reader allows you to both (1) keep abreast of your current reading, and (2) look back into the past, discovering older papers and so on. RSS readers typically focus on just the first of these problems.

This functionality will be greatly extended in coming months!

The Academic Reader V0.03

New features at www.academicreader.org:

  • The statistics and nonlinear dynamics feeds from arxiv have now been added. These parts of the arxiv aren’t as active as the physics arxiv, so don’t be surprised to see empty feeds occasionally.
  • The physics arxiv is largely complete back to the beginning of 2007.
  • Adding new feeds to your feed list is a lot easier.
  • Many minor improvements in the user interface.
