Description
Hello,
I like the application, but at the moment it is lacking some features that I need if I want to replace my current workflow using arxiv-papers-mobile.
I believe that the interface can be improved. When I open the application I see three elements: a search bar, the feed of all the recent papers, and the downloaded tab. I don't see the use of having all the papers on this page. Who goes through the papers in all categories? That interface would make sense if, once submitted a search query, the output was shown instead of the feed. But the search output is in a new view... Therefore, why displaying the recent papers there?
My suggestion is to make three tabs. The first tab is the feed of the recent papers, but only in some categories selected by the user. It would also be nice if I could choose whether to show the abstract or not. The second tab is the search interface. It would be nice if it was possible to use also the advanced search features available on the arxiv website. Finally, the third tab would be the downloaded papers.
This would replace my current solution: I have subscribed to the RSS feeds of some categories, I use a RSS reader to go through the new papers every day, and I save the papers I am interested in for later.
Are there any plans to introduce the mentioned features?
Thank you,
sbozzolo.
