Auto-linkification feature is pretty useful when reading papers! 😀 It would be nice if it can implement an optional Google Translate feature, which will show English and translated text side-by-side. That should help so much to deliver rich English information to a non-native English speakers in the world.

정말 편리합니다. 다만 형광펜 기능이나 노트 기능이 추가되었으면 좋겠습니다.

The text is a little bit hard to read. I guess the right term is "chromatic aberration". It doesn't render fonts the same way as Chrome's built-in PDF viewer.

I already love how much faster it makes to look up which studies are cited in a paper. I suggest adding the following features: - Sometimes, a citation is not recognized and by clicking, it jumps to the references section. There should be a button to return to the last view. - What would make this even more useful for me is if it could automatically create a list of references by each section, i.e. studies cited in the introduction, methods section etc.
