Fermat's Library is a platform for illuminating academic papers. Just as Pierre de Fermat scribbled his famous last theorem in the margins, professional scientists, academics and citizen scientists can annotate equations, figures and ideas and also write in the margins.

Hi PH! Librarian is a Chrome Extension that allows anyone to comment on any arXiv paper as well as get the Bibtex of the paper and links to its references. The place where a lot of scientists post their most recent findings before publishing on Journals should also be a place where open discussions around papers take place. Papers are usually dense and hard to read and there's so much information that can be added to a paper to make it more accessible: further explanations, data, presentations, videos, code etc. We think this is an important step towards open science and public collaboration/discussion about papers. We wrote a blogpost about what led us to build this: https://medium.com/@fermatslibra... Any feedback is welcomed :)

Love it. Thanks for creating this
