you give "consent" to a third party service like this when you click the massive "accept terms of service" button, create an account, and continue using the service

every time you interact with it, you give consent — that's why TOS exists

terms of service are also a thing

That's really cool!
I like how they share the papers with an image. I'll figure out how to do that (pun intended)

I can ask if they'll mirror the posts here — or maybe I could try to do that

oh that's interesting, are you just using Google Alerts?

ok it's officially alive!

Pubmed is a firehose of papers (at least 18 phage papers published in last 3 days).

Should Phage Papers cover all the papers? A random selection? A quality filter?

Or should I try to filter for "quality"?
Curating manually is too hard, and I'm not sure AI does it better?

That's a good idea!

Google Scholar is quite aggressive in blocking bots, but tools like Firecrawl can overcome it.

Pubmed is already a firehose of papers ("phage" returns 48 papers in just the last few days)

Should I try to capture ALL papers since then? What's a "good" or a "useful" paper?

I'm curious how to set up notification bots / alerts on Bsky too!

Would be cool if they just kept it barebones and allowed others to build on top of it like the original Twitter was meant to do
