I'm working to hard make SciLove available as a self-standing app. 📣 If you are an Android user, you can help out by becoming a tester. What's in it for you? Early access to a fully functional beta version. Simply join the group of test users and install the app: groups.google.com/g/scilove_be...

SciLove is one week old. 280 researchers across 33 countries, 2,025 papers saved, 14k+ swipes. Thank you to everyone who tried it early and provided feedback. Little tweaks and new journals have hopefully already improved the experience. Here's what the week looked like. 🧵

Keeping up with research just got a lot more fun! @beckerbastian.bsky.social has built something genuinely clever: a “Tinder for science” that helps you discover papers in a much more intuitive way. If you’re tired of endless PDFs and search queries, give it a try 👉 www.SciLove.app

📊 What matters most to you when discovering papers? 1️⃣ Recency 2️⃣ Close to my interests 3️⃣ Directly useful for my work 4️⃣ Popular with others 5️⃣ Top journals 6️⃣ Something else I’m building SciLove to make it easier to keep up with new research — what would you prioritize? (just reply with a number)

I'm not saying I'm old but I did just discover what swipe directions mean on Tinder by figuring out SciLove and learning it was based on Tinder.

Nice!

Check out this goated tool created by my colleague 👇

Such a great idea! I just played with it a bit and it seems to be a very promising new tool (especially for such interdisciplinary freaks like me who needs to keep tabs on journals from at least three disciplines):

For all new SciLove authors: If you want your articles to get a little more engagement: Simply import publications via ORCID and then hit share. Shamelessly, this is what this looks like for a recent paper with @norawaitkus.bsky.social #openaccess www.scilove.app/article/10.1...

What an amazing idea! Just tried it and already learned a lot about new interesting research - highly recommended!

SciLove — Swipe through new peer-reviewed papers from 3,000+ journals. Save what's relevant, connect with researchers that save your work back. ✦ Personalized feed ✦ Works on mobile & desktop ✦ Free to use Learn more at www.scilove.app

Wow, almost 150 users on just the second day!! 😍 Let me know how you think @scilove.bsky.social could get better, especially if journals you like are missing. I'm updating the list constantly. (📧[email protected])

I spent 15…30…45 minutes with this last night. Very cool. I would love to see a proper app, though it works as a web app.

Potential replacement for the beloved Twitter algorithm? (RIP)

This is awesome!

Try this out if you like swiping things and discovering new papers 👇

basically tinder with academic articles but really fun to use (and the articles do not unmatch you...)

Cool and fun to use!

Great new tool to keep up with newly published papers by my Humboldt-colleague @beckerbastian.bsky.social .

Colleagues creating incredibly useful tools!

Also finding it hard to keep up with new research? I built something to fix this. SciLove — swipe through recent papers in your field. The feed learns from your saves. Also matches you with researchers saving your work back (opt-out if you prefer). www.scilove.app 3,000+ journals, updated daily
