iReading Room · Floodgate

You can’t read 171 papers a day.

You don’t have to.

Floodgate scores every new paper in your feeds against the project you are working on, and opens with the ones that earned the top of the list.

The same delivery in Floodgate: each paper carries a relevance score, highest first.

One morning, three moves

  1. Open today’s deliveryEvery subject you follow arrives as one dated batch, counted, waiting. Nothing pinged you.
  2. Read from the top downScored 0–100 against your project. The abstract and the full paper open beside the list.
  3. Keep a handful, bin the restTick and send them to your Library as PDFs. What you leave never reaches it.
Floodgate: the delivery list, the scored papers, and one of them open in the preview pane.

The score is the sort. Highest first, every morning, without a keyword list to maintain.

The paper is right there. Abstract, then the full text, in the pane beside the list.

Keeping is one click. Add to Library files it as a PDF that is yours to annotate.

Your project descriptions and context are private.

One click

A minute to know whether it deserves an hour

Click a title and the paper opens beside the list — its score, its authors, the abstract, and the full text underneath. Everything the decision needs, in one pane, without opening a tab.

A paper open in the Floodgate preview pane: its relevance score, its abstract, and the full article below.

You choose what a card shows

Title, original abstract, full article: turn each on or off in Settings, and every preview in every delivery follows.

Settings: choose what the Floodgate preview shows for each received article — title, original abstract, full article.

It sharpens as you use it

Switch on Use my Library and the papers you kept count as examples of what you are looking for — so next week’s ranking knows more than this week’s.

Settings: include saved articles in ranking, so articles saved to the Library count as examples too.
