Open Source ResearchHub - Web

If a user tries to upload a paper with a url or DOI, @dhimmel is building a system to grab the metadata from that paper: https://github.com/quantfive/researchhub-backend/pull/132.

Currently his endpoint doesn't work on actual PDF's, but an example url that would work is: https://journals.plos.org/ploscompbiol/article?id=10.1371/journal.pcbi.1007128

He's returning a list of papers that are similar to the uploaded paper as well as a dictionary of metadata.

If there are similar papers, we want to show them to the user and ask them if they mean this paper, otherwise let the user move forward in the flow.

We want to take the metadata given back from this endpoint and fill the metadata on our next page.

• [x] Use CSL Item Endpoint, fetching metadata works
• [x] If CSL Item cannot get the information and the URL links directly to a PDF, use our old pdf endpoint upload flow
• [x] If CSL Item cannot get the information and the URL does not link to a PDF, make the user link another URL or upload a PDF.
• [x] Allow a user to enter JUST a doi -- if the CSL endpoint returns metadata that's useable then use that, otherwise make the user again link another URL / DOI or upload a PDF.

• Rebased onto master
• Removed support paper button on Left Column below upvote/downvote. Note that the discussion button is unchanged because the change in the proposed redesign would cause the discussion button to appear in varying places which can be confusing the user
• Moved "Support Paper" button into the circle button row
• Width of paper preview is fixed at either 140px (if availlable) or 0px (not availlable)
• Download PDF button moved under paper preview

Edit: now shows # supports, only if any

What?

• New analytics.js file with consolidated logic to log events in amplitude
• Logging the following search events: search: query submitted, search: results viewed, search: no results

If availlable, Submitter and Contributors (discussion commenters) will show in the paper full page side column

• If many contributors, "View More" button will show (identical to the way the authors list works)

I've had some trouble adding images to my discussion posts. I hosted the images on imgur beforehand and added in the URL using the figure button in the text editor. See the below images:

Right now we pop a tooltip that shows up below the toolbar. I think there's better UI for this -- maybe make it show in the middle of the editor, or somethign else? Github does it inline like this:

They use markdown though, but we could do something inline similarly?

Reddit does it like this:

What?

• Redesigned the top nav to include leaderboard, publish, discuss links while hiding others
• "Live" feed link has moved to "Recent Activity" section
• Updated feed filters design to reflect Tatiana's designs
• Includes closed PR https://github.com/ResearchHub/researchhub-web/pull/1131

Only three links at top

Live Feed now in Latest Activity section

Editors now in dropdown

• Display "all hubs" in /
• Display "my hubs" in /my-hubs
• Redirect /all => / for users who have /all link saved
• Bug fix: Do not display author title if there is no paper author
• Performance fix: Avoid loading certain components on paper page until paper has loaded
• Focus input field in mobile on Search icon click

Changes:

• If there is no paper, card text expands all the way to the right (no ghost room)
• "Paper Title" label no longer wraps to new line
• Condensed/removed whitespace: Paper preview size now depends on height of text/metadata, instead of the other way around.
• The 4 action buttons will appear directly under last metadata field.
• Switched order of Date and Paper Title.
• Metadata text is now aligned with the text above and below it, instead of being staggered

Google has an seo basics that we need to make sure we follow properly: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/7451184?hl=en

This is going to be a fairly large refactor.

The slate version we're on is buggy for mobile (mostly android), and also some desktop web platforms. We need to refactor it to utilize the newest version of Slate.

Before this refactor, we need to test -- does the new version of Slate actually work on android or do we face the same issues?

The things that won't be backwards compatible seem to be the items in the toolbar (plugins), as well as the diffing for summaries.

This PR is pretty big (sorry), I was attempting to refactor the Quill Editor into the React Hooks paradigm to see if it might be easier to work with. I don't think I'll have bandwidth to take it completely over the finish line but I want to put it up just in case.

I just finished rewriting the individual components, the next step if someone wanted to take this over would be to run it against local host and solve their way through the error messages to confirm it works identically as before

When I log in as [email protected] and go to https://www.researchhub.com/research-hub-engineering/notebook/1484 (I saw this url in our meeting when @yattias was sharing his screen), I get a 403:

I'm not sure if this is a bug or just a permission issue in my account, but in the latter case, it might be nice to give users a friendlier error message, possibly troubleshooting or mitigation instructions.

edit: I've since found out it was because this note is private, and I wasn't yet in the "Research Hub Engineering" organization. Maybe we can provide a more human readable, descriptive error message than "403 | an unexpected error has occurred" in cases like this, perhaps with a link to send a permission request.
