by Firefox user 13958296, 6 years agoTL;DR:
Implement the best possible interface, regardless of lazy users' concerns, then create an easy version for them. Or at least make a second version that follows best-practices. Somewhat redundant program, otherwise. But great idea, and there's certainly something to be said for the fact that you've pursued the idea to this extent.

Echoing the sentiments of another reviewer, and the respective reply from dev...
"Best-practices" in mind, it's too bad that they're being sullied in favour of unskilled-user-friendliness. Kind of ends up being user-unfriendly for those who would use in a more 'serious'/efficient capacity...
My opinion, for what it's worth, is that best-practices ought to be pursued foremost, otherwise the tool becomes an interface nightmare for those who want to use it efficiently and thoughtfully. You'd end up with a better product and that's the best scenario for a creator. A lite version is perfectly reasonable once that's taken care of.
I appreciate what you've done, though, and understand where you're coming from. It's a fantastic idea, but problematic roll-out philosophy for me. Ends up being a bit of another time-consuming hoop to jump through which sort of defeats the purpose for those who are capable, yet looking to streamline the search and organization process.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Numa, 3 months agoIt does exactly what it says, and has an extensive repertoire of academic papers. Definitely recommend it. This has saved me hours.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15775539, 10 months agoDoes what it promises, does it well. The green button pop up is fantastic, easier to find than the website's own pdf link.
