I use it every day.&lt;p&gt;A problem: I think one of the most necessary things that are missing from  arXiv.org is comments. People just come, read, and then take their discussions somewhere else, fragmented all around the net. Arxiv-Sanity already filters just the ML articles and does personalized feeds, maybe it could also be a place of discussion. I know it potentially leads to other complications (like moderation), but I really think readers would benefit from reviews, questions and answers.&lt;p&gt;The current ML related discussion sites (blogs, &amp;#x2F;r&amp;#x2F;machinelearning, G+, Twitter, StackExchange and YC) are often mixed with lots of noise. I&amp;#x27;d like to read what researchers think.&lt;p&gt;Another suggestion: add links to code repositories, where they are available. Maybe some of your trusted users could be empowered with the right to add such links, if it&amp;#x27;s too much work for a single person. If interesting discussions are reported on other pages on the internet, they could also be added to the article, to make them easier to find.</text></comment>

As a bonus you can use post high ranked papers to slack or use papers sent to me by other people to repopulate the bib file.&lt;p&gt;Always welcoming suggestions: &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;github.com&amp;#x2F;pfdamasceno&amp;#x2F;shakespeare&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;github.com&amp;#x2F;pfdamasceno&amp;#x2F;shakespeare&lt;/a&gt;</text></comment>
