Thanks for taking a look at our site and sharing these questions.&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;Github for science&amp;quot; is a phrase that describes our long term vision for what ResearchHub can become.&lt;p&gt;As a poster below mentioned, today&amp;#x27;s product could be much better described as Reddit for science. It is a v1 designed to test a few hypotheses and bootstrap a community of early adopters who believe in our mission of open scientific communication.&lt;p&gt;Overtime we plan to add more Github-esque (for lack of a better word) features. Next in the pipeline is a science-specific collaborative text editor that will help teams of scientists publish any kind of research output directly to ResearchHub.&lt;p&gt;We are still in very early days and have not yet found product market fit. The more critical thinkers we have the better, so if you have any interest in helping us improve ResearchHub I can share a link to our community slack channel.&lt;p&gt;Thanks again for your interest in our project!</text></comment>
