Web2 Counterparts

This topic shows how PaperProof spans functions that are usually split across multiple web2 platforms and workflows.

There is no single web2 product that fully matches PaperProof. The closest comparison is a functional stack: PaperProof ≈ Ghost or Substack + arXiv or OSF + Zenodo + GitHub Releases + Discourse This is useful because it shows that PaperProof is not replacing just one workflow category. It is trying to unify several categories that are usually split across different web2 systems.
