MPIA Arxiv Display

GitHub last commit

This project is a hack born during a science coffee at MPIA between Iskren Georgiev (@iskreng-y-g) and Morgan Fouesneau (@mfouesneau). This repository generates the screen content for the corridors of the institute. It is a sort of Arxiver for institutes or groups.

This repository "only" hosts a website that supports the institute's displays.

The main goal is provide summaries of daily papers authored or co-authored by MPIA members. Only for those, the summary contains the title, authors, abstract and figures (with captions).

This evolution heavily relies on arXiv on deck 2, a package that searches for new articles on ArXiv and renders their summary as Markdown documents. It does not compile the original LaTeX documents and only extracts the relevant information into Markdown files.
