         | presents a blank page with no message. You can't re-use your
         | search, but have to type it anew if you want to modify it.

           | Yeah, I tried accessing a paper and it just redirected to
           | paperpanda and to a dead link at that. So, maybe they have
           | some work to do.

       | it would be nice to be able to filter by tags as well, like "in
       | computer science" the query "python"

         | Yeah this is the type of link I'm not clicking. Things like
         | "Garbleflubs 3.0" tell me nothing, even if that is literally
         | the page/article title for some software release. But then,
         | literally a 2-letter domain name as title? This has got to be
         | the least descriptive thing one can come up with. My FOMO has
         | me checking out the comments, though.
