more busy work leads to more justification for larger APCs... +1 on a light and accessible format, like submitting markdown and notebooks, which the tools around this markdown flavor is enabling https://myst-tools.org/

While changing and improving their content and the "form" of the article is probably time best spent -- probably we would do more to improve the experience for the audience by dumping the PDF and moving to web based articles entir

+1 pdfs are a terrible format in which to store scientific knowledge, the reading experience as a whole is totally inefficient

The fast pdf generation is great but I lament on their choice of markup language, why create yet another? I'm a fan of writing content in markdown and there is at least on markdown flavour (MyST markdown) that gives the essential writi

If you want to write, publish and deploy - online the tool I am building can help you do that, either via markdown+git or an online editor https://curvenote.com . That would let you write but also use LaTeX math for equation typ

great work! it' such a pity that so much gets put into PDFs still as a medium for textbooks when interactive content is so much better. I've been working on some integrations along the lines of explorable texts that are backend by

does the upload here also submit to arxiv, or will uploading to xivra mean they diverge?

I agreed with you up until the last paragraph. Generating data that cannot be told apart from any real data, cave ins and all, is probably one area where this can succeed. Your other comment about picking the horizon of interest is really o

true and it seems like a similar scraped-abtract, someone-needs-to upload-the-pdf-so-we-don't-get-blamed model that you see on researchGate and academia.edu

yes, version control is baked in so once you save a version of an article or notebook the blocks are immediately reference-able, so if you use that table in your paper, its still linked to the same block/cell in the notebook and has a

Bret's work is inspiring and we're at a point where we have the media and tech available to make that massive upgrade. When you look at work like this, and also the work produced by distill.pub achieving it is beyond the reach of

In Curvenote's editor you collaborate on the content as you would in something like google docs, without needing to write Latex -- but with the features you'd reach to Latex for; equations, figures, citations, cross referencing et

Really? If it wasn't for the visa waiver programme in the US for example, being from the UK wouldn't I need a visa to enter?

"..makes you qualified to talk about the problem..." I like that take, you are in a position to empathize but not necessarily know the solution or even the real problem as it manifests differently in different settings outside of

really like this tutorial. I was going to say it' be good to see more on nested scopes versus the controllerAs but you've also liked out to some great follow on content. Thanks!

a nice end to end tutorial. wondering does stripe give you a sandbox test area to work against during dev and for testing, that something I'd like to have clear at the outset.

with node & express I get serious flexibility. Some great examples in this tutorial, getting started with streaming & real time apps with some pretty minimal code. Nice.
