@AdamMarblestone In your website you mention a tool called 'Beagle'. Did it go anywhere? It bears a striking resemblance to Fermat's Library, which is still around

It has gone nowhere. Really, it is a set of ideas of how something like http://Hypothes.is , but with a slicker UI/onboarding plus more social features, could be used by scientists. Reducing the bottleneck and increasing the dopamine for scientists annotating papers socially.

But I keep these docs online in the hopes that, like the backlinks or other lost features of Xanadu, it will one day inspire something better to be built and properly deployed. It may be that the idea is good but our weak attempt at execution was simply abortive.

Fermat’s library illustrates at least some of what could be cool about this. Why does every scientist not use it instead of Tweeting papers?

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.

It was great to have you take the stab you did. I agree it wasn’t quite far enough to really know whether there could have been traction or not... it is an open Q to me. IPFS also had more $ than us, which was not your fault.

Open question for me, too. Perhaps we'll close it some day. :)
