Peer Review Beta – GitHub plus StackExchange for Scholarly Publishing

Hacker News

Hi HN, I've had the idea for a scholarly publishing site that could crowdsource the work of the journals using concepts borrowed from Github and StackExchange and recombined for years. I finally got enough runway to take about 6 months off of work to build it. This is the result. It's still in beta, but the core MVP features - review, reputation, responses - are all there. I'm sure there are as yet to be found bugs, because I'm on my own and I've always been terrible at testing my own stuff. Right now it's best treated as non-archival pre-prints with review. I'm starting my next full time role on Monday, so I'll be carrying it forward as a side project. I'm going to continue working on it, albeit more slowly and on nights and weekends. It's open source and with an open roadmap, and I would welcome collaborators. I would love and appreciate any thoughts and feedback!
