- I remember similar kind of visualization from a decade ago, called paperscape. Looked cool, worked on clustering using citations and references.
Never got any idea on any use case that would be covered by such visualizations, apart from looking cool.

- I really like the clustering aspect of this. It would be cool if there was a way to articulate some sort of relationship between two adjacent or nearby papers in this tool.
- Neat! Two questions I had after using it:
1) Is there a way to filter the visual atlas by the search term? For instance, I searched "ribosome" and it gave me a list, but I couldn't seem to visualize the list
2) I notice there's an MCP tool. I've used https://paperclip.gxl.ai/ in the past to good effect, curious if there are any standout features from tomesphere?

- Very cool. By the way, you can render many more datapoints on mobile if you use WebGL. Here’s a similar example - embeddings rendered using a T-SNE layout

- I have a few questions:
1. I see there is a Chrome extension, but I have not used Chrome since their adblocker blocker announcement. Is a Firefox extension planned?
2. What is the business model? Is this an open beta of a paid product? If this is not a product, will the code be released at some point?
3. It would be helpful to be able to filter papers by institution or author. Is this planned or out of scope?
- Tailscale Aperture is having trouble doing the OAUth2 connection. Can you support oauth2_dcr or test with Aperture?

- For your reference, check the 3M map of science papers we made here: https://www.scholar-inbox.com/scholar-maps
- This is super cool. Just one question. I noticed that papers have different spacing between them. Is that because a paper's placement is based on correlation with neighbors, or just random placement?

- this is fun! even for casual users. I searched "James Webb" and got 'James Webb Space Telescope: data, problems, and resolution
A. D. Dolgov · 2023 · 1 cites' as my first result, but clicking it didn't do anything - I expected it to either zoom into or see the article contents. Was I doing something wrong? (Chrome, OSX).

- This is amazing!
Would love to collaborate on a position paper I've been authoring if you have bandwidth
- Just curious where do you source all those papers?
