'Paper Deck' lets you browse AI/ML papers like flashcards
A developer released Paper Deck, an open-source tool that makes it easier to discover AI and machine learning research papers. It presents papers as swipeable cards so you can scan through them quickly without digging through academic databases. It's available on GitHub for anyone to use or contribute to.
The volume of AI and machine learning papers published every day has made it genuinely hard to keep up with what matters. Paper Deck tackles this by showing papers one card at a time, letting you quickly decide what's worth reading. The interface is meant to feel simple and approachable rather than like a traditional academic search engine, so it's useful even if you're not a researcher yourself — just someone trying to stay on top of AI trends. The project was shared in both the r/MachineLearning and r/coolgithubprojects communities, suggesting broad appeal beyond pure researchers. As a solo personal project, it's early-stage but already drawing interest.
