Score: 4.7/10 (Innovation: 5, Technical: 4, Documentation: 3, Utility: 5)

Papel is a social network for researchers that indexes over 2 million papers and uses on-device AI to help users discover relevant research faster. It aims to make paper discovery and understanding more social and beautiful, similar to TikTok's short-form discovery mechanic. The project is interesting for its attempt to apply social media dynamics to academic literature, though it is still minimal in implementation.

Target audience: researchers, data engineers
