PREPRINT is a modern arXiv interface with social network features.

PREPRINT's mission is to make cutting—edge science accessible and create a vibrant community around the global arXiv database. PREPRINT is a modern frontend fork of the arXiv. We replaced the design from the 90s with an aesthetic interface and added social features. The database is updated automatically, and reading articles turns into an exciting process.: The feed is like on Instagram: scroll through the latest research in the usual format. This lowers the entry threshold and draws you into the world of science. Direct discussions: Communicate with authors and colleagues in the comments right under the article. Likes and ratings: create the top of the best works instead of blindly searching through the archive. Personal Library: Save interesting materials in one click.
