Tinder for preprinjts

Papr scrapes preprints - papers that have yet to be published in
peer-reviewed journals - from the BioRxiv biology research preprint
database and shows them to users, who can then rank them by swiping up,
down, left or left.

Users get to make snap judgements on papers in two ways, deeming them
"boring" or "exciting", and "probably accurate" or "questionable".
