paper-browser is an attempt by me to learn web scripting in Python using the Flask microframework. It aims at creating a web-app to fully manage and view research papers on a machine.
In order to run this app, the following are required:
- Python 2.6 or above
- The Flask microframework
- A modern web browser (Chrome is recommended)
Implemented Features:
- Adding a paper (pdf/ps/etc files) to
paper-browserby file upload, including metadata:- Title of paper
- Authors
- Year of publication
- Keywords
- Some notes for the user's personal reference
- Indication of whether the paper is "important" (depending on your definition of "important")
- Categorization of papers by directory
- Viewing of papers in browser, including very (!) rudimentary directory navigation
- Deletion of papers
Pending features:
- Search of papers by title or metadata
- UI enhancement using CSS
