Hey IH, been building DocuPeer with my team and we're live on Product Hunt today.
What it is: a free peer-review platform for research papers. The core mechanic is simple, review two papers to unlock submitting your own, then get anonymous, subject-matched feedback back. It's already serving hundreds of users across more than 13,000 papers.
Why we built it: most students and early researchers either have nobody qualified to review their work, or end up relying on a friend who's willing but doesn't really know the subject. Meanwhile there are plenty of people who could give genuinely useful feedback on someone else's paper, the system just never connected the two sides. So we built the exchange directly into the product instead of leaving it to informal favors.
If you want to check it out or leave feedback, here's the launch page: https://www.producthunt.com/products/docupeer
Would love thoughts from this crowd, especially if you've built anything with a similar give-to-get or credit-based access model, curious what you learned about getting the first side of that loop moving.
