This is amazing!

This is nice, but on mobile, I get a huge blank margin to the right.

I don't, Firefox Android.

zinekeller• 4 years ago

I can replicate it in Firefox for Android, as stated it's due to the math figures being too rigid (which subsequently overflows).

So do I (on iOS), it seems to be caused by the math overflowing the page.

Hi, ar5iv creator here. Just to jot down that:

1. This was first reported to HN 55 days ago, discussion is here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30163308

2. There is an official arXiv blog announcement with a little bit of extra details here: https://blog.arxiv.org/2022/02/21/arxiv-articles-as-responsi...

---

When I first commented on HN, I mentioned that I really hoped we can find a way for arXiv to officially endorse the project and adopt it, so that we solve the copyright issues and get on a healthy path to full integration with the service. That happened a month ago! More healthy work ahead.

Thanks to everyone on HN for the feedback so far. If/when you see broken renderings (still plenty of examples) do comment with the article link, or (even better) use the "report an issue" button at the bottom of each document page. Cheers!

@dginev, as you guys upgrade arxiv with HTML5 tech, keep in mind you may be in a position to further implement some of Brett Victor's thinking on "explorable explanations":

http://worrydream.com/MediaForThinkingTheUnthinkable/

http://worrydream.com/ScientificCommunicationAsSequentialArt...

etc.

This is cool. I’m wondering what the responsive part is — the example seems like it’s just latex2html output basically?

I think it would be super cool to have more https://distill.pub style papers, with like interactive plots instead of static image files and stuff.

Edit: I think the jargon I was looking for is “reactive”, not “responsive”

Great idea and I want to love it, but it is still far too slow and buggy. Someone else mentioned the blank space on the right and that is also an issue for me.

I really love footnotes in margins, such a nice design wherever it is used.
