페이지를 바로 번역해서 원문과 같이 나란히 볼 수 있는 기능이 매우 좋은것 같아요. 혹시 번역본의 가로 너비를 조절할 수 있는 기능이 있으면 좋을것같아요 문장 혹은 문단이 길어져서 페이지가 갈렸을때는 조금 어색한게 아쉽네요

최고의 논문 뷰어. Preview 기능 덕분에 논문 읽으면서 Figure 확인하러 스크롤을 위아래로 돌릴 필요도, reference 논문의 제목 및 내용을 확인하러 페이지들을 이동할 필요도 없어집니다. 이 기능 하나만으로도 논문 읽기가 훨씬 쾌적해집니다. LLM을 이용한 설명 및 요약, 번역 기능도 논문을 빠르게 훑어보고 싶을 때 정말 많은 도움이 됩니다. 몇 분 걸리지 않아 논문의 내용을 거의 파악 가능하고, 나중에 논문을 다시 읽어볼 때 생성했었던 설명들만 훑어보아도 내용 복기가 순식간에 됩니다. 기능 및 개선점 업데이트도 굉장히 빠르게 이루어지고 있어 앞으로도 기대가 되는 제품입니다.
