So, this week Connected Papers went viral on multiple fronts. Hundreds of thousands of new visitors and over 100k new graphs were created in just a few days - causing our servers to crash and burn. It's been amazing and exhausting. /thread by Eddie Smolyansky (co-founder) [1/12].

"Drowning in the literature?" . A fantastic article in @Nature (by @DavidMJourno) covering Connected Papers and other tools for dealing with the academic papers overload that we are all experiencing. “You do not have to have that FOMO feeling”!.

This is cool! Connected Papers was mentioned several times in "The Goldilocks Map". It's the story of a classroom teacher's quest to evaluate science-based teaching advice using modern literature review tools and a healthy dose of applied critical thinking.

Connected Papers with Code!. Today we are partnering with the awesome @paperswithcode to add links to code implementations for all papers that have them. Sharing code should become a true industry standard when publishing papers in software sciences.
New feature: links to external resources in the paper details panel. For every paper in the graph you can now find direct links to Semantic Scholar, Google Scholar, PubMed, arXiv, the publisher page, and most importantly - the PDF!

Introducing Connected Papers for conferences!. A special version of our graphs, embedded into the conference website, built for enhanced browsing and navigation of the conference papers.
A big shoutout to @ConnectedPapers and @SemanticScholar, who ingested our papers ahead of anthology publication, built a graph for each of them, and built a custom version of their website for us in just 2 weeks!

I'm not sure that people realize that on the other side of their screen, there's a team of 4 friends, doing their best to keep the service alive and putting out fires. Sometimes running around like headless chickens. It's funny but for us, this is still a side project! [9/12].

Cool graph!.A nice demonstration of the Connected Papers similarity engine at work. Opposing hypotheses are naturally divided into visual clusters, which helps in getting a good overview of the field.
Can Modern Evolutionary Theory Explain Macroevolution? Scientific issues are not democratic, but according to @ConnectedPapers algorithm, the research community in evolution lately goes for NO. That's great ! 1/2

Meanwhile, as Connected Papers was going viral, our strategy on social media was to. hide. We didn't want to add more fuel to the fire - we preferred that existing users get a good experience than to reach even more new ones. Besides, we didn't have the attention to spare. [8/].

It's back - "search by paper title" is working again (stable for the last hour). We know what the problem was but the bad news is that it could theoretically happen again (depends on an external factor). We're working to resolve this more permanently.

We scaled our operations 10x in a day. At some points, we had more than 100 servers up and crunching new graphs for new users. We were mostly ready for this, but some unexpected bottlenecks were discovered. [6/12].

During the week, we've also experienced several sudden surges of hundreds of users all building graphs at once, probably as a result of big shares in local communities, or (we suspect), virtual meetups where the lecturer asked the audience to test out the tool in real-time. [4/].

Pro tip: *ctrl + click* a paper to build its graph in the background, without leaving the search page. The graph will be added to "My graphs" in the top right of the navbar. This is useful if you want to open multiple results in parallel. 2/3.

@lela_eight @ndrewwang @AcademicChatter Don't worry, we're limiting the amount of papers in every graph to a manageable amount, and most connections are very light and are there to help you easily distinguish between clusters. Also check out prior and derivative works for short lists of relevant papers 🦾.
