Indeed! The social dimension of it is why the whole "tools for science" genre is a graveyard of exciting but dead projects. I can think of Mendeley, but they have the backing of Elsevier (I wonder how they went from nothing to be embedded in many departments as a goto tool)

Exactly. I have yet to see a real success in this area at all, at the level that it would objectively merit. Twitter is the closest! (I at least have *used* Mendeley in groups for creating a goddamn reference list but not much more. & ShareLatex for writing.) Ok, SciHub = success

@juanbenet might have ideas as well, as well as@richlitt and@davidad all of whom were also envisioning and/or prototyping such -
I think I got bogged down in development, frankly. I wish I had been a better coder when I was working on it more. I ended up working with IPFS, thinking that would be a good data layer for it in the long run, but I've been sidetracked since.
