@DrPen I love how they selected an aggressively pre-Y2K font
@DrPen All academic portals should hire this logo designer. Please, internet! #typography #fun
@fleg its highly possible they do, in some cases 馃檭
@DrPen Bring on the fun馃ぉ
@fleg @DrPen Oh yes! None of that corporate vibe Einheitswurst design pls. This breathes *excitement* about research and reading!
@DrPen Thanks a lot for the tip! We will try to implement searching using this in #JabRef as well
@DrPen Good news, we now have finished the implementation in #JabRef and integrated the fetcher in our latest development

@DrPen Looks interesting. But what's it going to catch that Google Scholar doesn't already have? Is it best seen as a backup in case GS ever goes down?
@robjohnnoble I think this may be more about open and free, and able to be loaned for short periods if behind pay walls. I'll have to test it more.
@DrPen why does it have Synth Wave vibe? I *love* it!
@drj hehe. It's super retro. It's like design as a political statement. I think it's great!
@DrPen @RABlackpaws tysm holy shit, will be using this for assignments馃檹馃檹馃檹
@DrPen It would be great to have more open access to search for articles, but it seems like they are missing a lot of stuff so far. Hopefully it will improve.
@DrPen didn't know about this at all, thanks!

Did a quick & dirty run with a landmark paper in my current field & a newer influential paper. Seems like it requires a very specific input compared to Google Scholar, but yeah it returned the results quite well once I became specific enough

Could this be a big thing?

@DrPen Thank you! I wasn鈥檛 aware.

I was not aware. Tyvm! 鉂わ笍

@DrPen The 1980s movie poster typography lends a welcome sense of ancient gravitas to the start page.

@DrPen and it looks...80s?

nice

@kyonshi er, that's quite funny. I kind of get what you mean but computers in the 80s were DOS. This is graphic Y2K, retro web 1.0. It's, a, political statement 馃榿
@DrPen Nice! Thanks for mentioning!
@DrPen how it's going to feel using Internet Archive Scholar

@DrPen

Is Aaron Swartz finally smiling?
