Hi,
I'm a rising second year physics graduate student at The Ohio State University (OSU), currently working in nuclear astrophysics. I heard of the "slack-style" community feature for reviewing papers a while back and recently decided I wanted to try it with my research group and book clubs. The OSU physics/astro department and their Center for Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics (CCAPP) is a very large and we host interdisciplinary meetings frequently for paper reviews. It would be very convenient to have this slack-style feature come back! I'm sure people would use it more if they knew what alphaxiv was, but I only know a few people who have heard of it.
Also a minor complaint:
I would prefer an audio summary that isn't a global summary of the paper. I'd also prefer if the conversation didn't include multiple voices as if I'm listening to a Spotify podcast or watching those company training videos on lab safety.
On a more constructive note, I think that it'd be better if individual sections of a paper could be summarized and turned into audio files instead of the entire paper. It would feel more productive in group meetings when we're trying to understand figures or are trying to become familiar with particular methods in a subsection of the text.
