We scroll every day, why not learn something meaningful? Soch curates research articles using AI and presents them in a familiar, effortless feed. With simplified summaries, AI-generated visuals, and personalized interests, discovery feels natural, not overwhelming. Turn mindless scrolling into moments of insight.
Interesting idea! A development suggestion: I would find a feature for specifying not just interests but also information sources very useful. Each of us trusts certain media and reads those specifically. But no one reads all media completely — we choose interesting sections/topics within them. If AI could do this for us, it would save a lot of time.

@mykyta_semenov_ thanks for the feedback, very legit!
I will definitely add this feature when I have more than one source. Right now I am relying exclusively on arXiv.org for the research papers.

@asadatnoodle Thank you!
Congrats on the launch! I really like the intent behind Soch, reframing scrolling as something that leaves you with ideas instead of draining attention feels timely and refreshing. How you think about long-term learning here, does Soch optimize more for quick insight per scroll, or for helping certain ideas resurface and compound over time as people keep using the feed?

@vik_sh Thanks! At this time I am not massaging the user's feed based on their interaction patterns and behaviour. One reason being, I do not want Soch to become just another feed dictated by an algorithm that favours time on the app over whatever the original or advertised intent of an app may be.
But I am thinking of adding a screen to the app, which tells the users of the various ideas they interacted with and if there is an overlap between them that the user might be subconsciously getting attracted to. Fairly abstract I know, but just a budding idea at the time. I could associate it with the user's bookmarks page.
That's a great question you put forth. I am going to think harder about the strategy I can employ to optimize for long-term learning.
