Awesome, really rich and featureful, I like the feature extraction to find researcher names etc., and how it can then feed those into a google scholar search when you try to add a paper reference.
Has the google scholar thingy worked well for you? I've found it a bit useless for any paper published more recently than a couple of days ago... (and also I should change it to use just the author's surname in the search - seems to work better).
The whole feature extraction stuff could stand a lot of improvement too :-)
1) Agree with Seb on Twitter login link not being obvious
Cool. Easily fixed.
2) Do you have to mark a paper as being fully sourced for it to appear as such in the browser extension? I didn't notice the button straight away and quite a few people might miss it
The browser has a whilelist of news sites. If unsourced has an article on file already, then the icon lights up in colour, otherwise it's grey.
But as observed, I think it all needs to be a bit more obvious... lots of tweaking coming up, I feel :-)
3) The browser extension is really cool, will definitely take this site from being a curiosity to a routine tool
Yep. Ultimately, I plan to do an extension to pulling in data from all sorts of other sources. A kind of all-seeing-eye-of-news :-)
4) I added a source to http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-2202434/Taking-Prozac-Don-t-drive-Pills-raise-risk-having-accident-70.html really nice and easily. The browser extension does light up the address bar icon, but I kinda think that maybe the information it finds should be more prominent, maybe actually inserted into the article below the headline.
I was toying with the idea of having extra info appear overlayed along with the warning labels... although it's tricky to do in a non-annoying way. Experimentation required.
Looking forward to using it regularly, help with the the power of crowd sourcing!
Yay!
