It's a research paper aggregator with a nice and simple UI.

Looks like it just leaches off of other services like PaperPanda.

If you type in search terms that return no result, it just presents a blank page with no message. You can’t re-use your search, but have to type it anew if you want to modify it.

Yeah, I tried accessing a paper and it just redirected to paperpanda and to a dead link at that. So, maybe they have some work to do.

nice and good looking!

it would be nice to be able to filter by tags as well, like "in computer science" the query "python"

I have no idea what this is about, nor even any hint what the submitter themself feels about it.

Yeah this is the type of link I'm not clicking. Things like "Garbleflubs 3.0" tell me nothing, even if that is literally the page/article title for some software release. But then, literally a 2-letter domain name as title? This has got to be the least descriptive thing one can come up with. My FOMO has me checking out the comments, though.

I figured that it was either an aggregator/search engine for research papers, or a GPT-3 random research paper generator. After reading 5-6 abstracts, I'm about 60% confident it's the former.

For those wondering about the strange domain, .mg is the Internet country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for the Republic of Madagascar[0]

And yes, someone registered OH.MG: https://www.oh.mg/

[0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.mg

Yeah, I tried to get that one but someone beat me to it. I did get ok.mg though. (My initials are MG.)

Why oh why would they use www with that domain name...?

Technical reasons - the webserver isn't at the same place as the root domain any more & there are still non-WWW ports hosted on the root domain :)
