Dear Paperlib users,

Thank you all for your long-standing support and love for Paperlib.

I’d like to share a situation with you and hope for your support.

My PhD studies in the UK are coming to an end, and my student visa is about to expire. I’m pleased to have secured a job offer, but I need to apply for the UK Global Talent Visa to stay here. Paperlib can serve as supporting material to demonstrate my contributions to the open-source and academic communities for the visa. If you could express your appreciation for Paperlib, such as by sending me an email from your institute/personal email address, I would be immensely grateful.

Thank you once again for your support of Paperlib. I will continue to work on making it even better. My email is [email protected]. ❤️ Best regards, Changrui Chen University of Warwick, PhD candidate

Just want to say thank you for this great piece of software! Makes my life much easier. I have fond memories of iTunes and PaperLib is giving me similar vibes. Thank you and I hope this project continues for a long time.

Hey hello, I love this app !

I think the main force of this repo is the scrapper. However, the ui lack few features to be widely adopted like:

• Ability to search paper by tags
• Ability to add tags rapidly
• Ability to add more tag colors (only 4 available at the moment)
• Ability to add column on the list
• Display recent papers

@ODAncona Hi, glad to know you love Paperlib.

• Ability to search paper by tags: if you just want to search paper by a single tag, click the left panel tag item. if you want to search a paper with multiple tags, for example: a paper with tagA and tagB, you can: switch the search mode to advanced - input tags.name == 'tagA' and tags.name == 'tagB' to search bar - press Enter.

• Ability to add tags rapidly: if you wish to assign a paper with an existing tag, you can drag a paper item onto the tag item in the left sidebar.

• Ability to add column on the list: if you are talking about that you want to see more info about a paper in the list view. Just go to the preference - Mainview.

• Display recent papers: you can order the list by their adding date. Click the sort button at the right top coner.

BTW, I would recommend you the custom scraper feature of paperlib. You can use it to create an auto-tagger based on the keywords.

Here is the guide: https://paperlib.app/en/doc/metadata-scraper/custom-scraper.html

There are a lot of interesting use case with the custom scraper. For me I created a publication formatter to format the ugly raw metadata scrapped from the internet.

The ultimate papers management app that all (CS) scholars should try! Regretting that I just came across this app today. 💯

A Zotero alternative that is minimalistic and powerful at the same time. It pays attention to the smallest details.

First of all, great work by the team to find a better alternative for citation management. I personally use Jabref, which works with my workflow. I have tried Zotero but do not like the design or lack of alternate syncing options(you have to sign in to unlock DAV syncing). Some suggestions/Improvements.

1. Support manually adding Multiple Tags
2. Support for VSCODE when working with tex files. with citation key search/author search.+Generate a .bib file with the included citations.
3. Support for perplexity api.
