RoadMap

2.1.0

  • improve captcha handling & introduce request batching
    • if you update 200 papers you prob get captchas starting at 100 or so
    • all remaining request will run into a captcha an result in a prompt
    • even when the captcha situation is resolved, those items won't be updated unless another update is requested
    • solution/workaround
      • can't get around some sort of batching/sequencing
      • if you throw 100 requests into the event loop, they'll happen no matter what
      • i.e. you have to stop throwing requests into the event loop once you get the first captchas, then wait for the captcha to be resolved
  • properly handle a 429
    • i.e. pause request for the specified time

2.2.0

  • author & date shinanigans
    • sometimes papers are not found because not all authors are listed as such on google scholar
    • same goes for the date
    • another failure source: discrepancy between title that GS lists and Zoteros title field
      • remove stop words from titles?
    • solution/workaroud
      • depends on the ability to redo requests at will
      • start with dropping the date
      • if still no citation is found retry with permutations of authors, decreasing in number of authors
      • probably increases scholar query success rate
        • e.g. "Probabilistic roadmaps for path planning in high-dimensional configuration spaces"
        • there's different versions!
      • big but(t): probably increases rate of false positives as well …
      • how to signify the confidence in the zitation count?

2.3.0

  • add a minimal config dialog to allow configuration at runtime
    • GS base URL is a good candidate; it would allow the use of webproxies

Soon(tm)

note: this is a randomly ordered todo list, higher up the list doesn't imply higher priority

  • automatically update version number (i.e. in install.rdf)
  • clean up variable handling
    • e.g. this/zsc. right now zsc. is just an almost global storage for eveything)
    • use acutal private variables & closures?
  • fix build system, so ppl can contribute
    • the whole npm thingy might be a bad idea in the first place
      • zsc is run in a browser, it should probably tested that way as well
      • but the whole XUL part is nasty AF
    • purely npm/package.json based?
    • true OS independence
      • i.e. I have to fix my tools first
      • either go full cygwin stack or full windose (but cmd is soo shit q.q)
      • there's no node/npm as a package in cygwin q.q; prob. have to compile it
      • alternative: do everything in node
  • rework citation field
