Reading Room

Floodgate · feed triage for researchers

A hundred papers land today. Four of them are yours.

Reading Room watches the arXiv categories and feeds you follow, ranks every new article against the project you are working on right now, and keeps what you save as a readable, annotatable on every machine you sign in from.

01 · Triage

Ranked against your project, not against the field.

I am building a retrieval layer for a long-context assistant. The open question is how to keep recall high when the KV cache is compressed, and which failure modes show up first when the retriever is wrong rather than merely slow.

  • Write a paragraph about the problem in front. Every incoming paper is scored against
  • The whole day stays visible and ranked. nothing is capped to a tidy five.
  • Change projects and tomorrow’s feed sorts differently.
  • Tick the ones worth keeping; move them to your Library in a click.

02 · Library

What you keep becomes a document you can actually read.

The Library shelf: three saved papers with authors, when they were added, and the note count on each.
app.readingroom · /library
  • One shelf, searchable and sortable, on your account.
  • Every item opens in the same reader, annotated the same way.
  • The note count rides along, so annotated papers are easy to find again.

03 · Read & annotate

Select a sentence. Write. Tag.

The notes panel beside a paper: a quoted passage, the note written against it, and the tags retrieval, to-replicate and cold-cache.
app.readingroom · /reader
  • You select words, not a box over an image
  • The notes keeps the qoute, the page and exact position
  • Tag your notes
  • Link relative notes together

04 · Tags

One tag pulls the papers and the notes together.

Reading Room Tags: tag chips with counts, and results mixing a note and the papers that share the tag.
app.readingroom · /tags

Tags are shared across the whole library. Pick cold-cache and you get both: every paper you filed under it, and every note you scribbled with it.

  • Filter by any tag, or require all of them at once.
  • Search inside the results; open a note or the whole paper in place.
The question was never what does this paper say. It is whether it changes what you do this week — and only your project can answer that.
