No this makes sense to me! You're filling in the details that I basically missed out so thanks! I agree that the separation between paper and abstract should be a thing, it would give some level of freedom to, as another comment points out, to still apply a paywall in the early stages of this concept if they please, since it's their right to do so.
Also steemit is so spammy lol
If you really want to go through with this, I'm sure someone would code it and this seems like it could be one of the steemit projects that could get funding through this. There's a funding program in place some people have set up.
Just like @mountainwashere said, keep me updated, please.
Good to get some sound support! I'm thinking of making a discord channel for supporters in all areas to contribute ideas and skills at some point, so i'll get all the coders I know to unite!
