"I always had something else that I could be doing or wanted to be doing, but I was choosing to watch TikTok videos for five hours,"
"And then by the end of it I couldn't remember anything that I had watched."
"I didn't know where to put all of this stuff, because there's no central location for it,"
"I built it because I wanted a place where engaging with research felt fun, beautiful, and personal to you."
Anuja Uppuluri frequently spent hours on algorithm-driven social media and often could not remember what she had watched. Uppuluri scaled back social media and sought to consume career-related research and generative AI literature more intentionally. She encountered many papers but lacked a central place to organize and revisit them. Uppuluri created Paper Trails as a crowd-sourced platform for posting paper links, reading summaries, creating public shelves, and commenting, reviewing, or rating research. Paper Trails is not powered by an AI algorithm and aims to make engaging with research enjoyable and personal.
