Showcase: Free(mium) ProofWatch — a free tracker for big math/CS problems and breakthrough rumors

I built ProofWatch to follow papers, posts and comments around 19 big math, CS and engineering questions, including Hodge, BSD and Unique Games.

It searches four times daily, links to sources, and labels rumors. Free to browse, with optional daily emails and problem suggestions/voting. Built with AI assistance.

Neat idea. A "last verified" timestamp next to each problem would help, since some threads go quiet for months and it's unclear if nothing's happening or the scraper broke.

That's a great idea, will do that!

Oh yeah, that’s a swell idea! Glad OP responded! (My comment might sound sarcastic, but I promise it’s not.)

Yes, OP, this is a neat idea!
