Featherfell: Paper Marking Platform

Featherfell is a platform where researchers mark papers they encounter and read, indexing more than 240 million scholarly works across all academic disciplines through OpenAlex. A researcher searches for a paper by title or identifier, marks it as Want to Read, Reading, or Read, optionally adds a short note, and moves on. Over months the markings accumulate into a reading wall of paper covers, with the platform deliberately omitting ratings, reference management, and bulk import. The platform is available at https://featherfell.com.

Abstract

Featherfell is a platform where researchers mark papers they encounter and read, indexing more than 240 million scholarly works across all academic disciplines through OpenAlex. A researcher searches for a paper by title or identifier, marks it as Want to Read, Reading, or Read, optionally adds a short note, and moves on. Over months the markings accumulate into a reading wall of paper covers, with the platform deliberately omitting ratings, reference management, and bulk import. The platform is available at https://featherfell.com.
