Tell HN: I Made a Math Sub for Aether

1 pointsby earthicusover 5 years ago
Aether is a decentralized alternative to Reddit, set up as an application rather than a web page [1]. It&#x27;s been around for a number of years and basically nobody uses it, but last month I made a math sub anyway and populated it with some initial posts to set the &#x27;culture&#x27; of the community. Right now it looks like this:<p>https:&#x2F;&#x2F;i.imgur.com&#x2F;Asf9NKh.jpg<p>The intent of the the sub is to collect well written and designed, information dense expository materials for mathematics. The intent is <i>not</i> to be a Q&amp;A discussion forum for learning the standard math curriculum. Someone else might create a b&#x2F;LearnMath to fill that role!<p>Of course I don&#x27;t expect this to produce a firehose of &#x27;content&#x27; - this is a good thing! Everything on the internet does not need to be subject to perpetual daily churn. For example, K. Conrad has a tremendously useful set of expository notes on his website [2] that he occasionally adds to and I occasionally refer back to. This is the model I have in mind, I want to build a community aggregated collection of great resources that we can refer back to (and comment on) over time.<p>I hope you will not be too turned off by the fact that nobody uses it yet (until all of you join!) and consider checking the sub out!<p>[1] https:&#x2F;&#x2F;getaether.net&#x2F;<p>[2] https:&#x2F;&#x2F;kconrad.math.uconn.edu&#x2F;blurbs&#x2F;
