I am building a website ( http://libflow.com ) to share free documents, textbooks and papers. The purpose of it is to host free material that can be readily accessed with no paywalls, subscriptions forms or ads.
This started as a personal project, but it is growing and I would like to know if there is someone who would like to support it. It is not a for-profit project, and does not have a business model. However, I have a long term goal of (financially) supporting the creation of more free materials (e.g. textbooks) and make them available for free. Therefore I am also interested in the possibility of generating some revenue without ads.
"Roll over the interactive chart above to see the company and value. If all three datapoints are not visible, it is because one is shrouded by another (ie, America's Amazon obscures Facebook, since both are worth around $185 billion); clicking on the key at the top will remove datapoints."
Several years ago I started a website called WTFormula.com
Unfortunately I was the only contributor, and since I'm not a mathematician my contributions were very few. I haven't been able to convince other people with helping writing content, and eventually I dropped it for lack in interest (the domain is also available again). I still believe it would be a very useful and nice tool to have, though.
Currently I'm working on http://libflow.com (on my spare time) and I have a lot of ideas to improve it (this "rap genius for research papers" was one of the possible improvements I had in mind). Unfortunately the project is on hold because I currently don't have the money to move it to a dedicated server and enough free time to make major changes to the site.
