A PyQt GUI for paper reading notes management and comparison.

PaperMatrix organizes paper notes by domains, and it is easy for human to compare same domains of several papers. The entry-domain viewing model makes it a matrix of notes.

This is a work during the self-quarantine in February 2020 because of the COVID-19. Were to publish on the extraordinary Feb 29th, but delayed till Mar 8th. >_<

Python 3.5+

PyQt 5.9+

Just run python3 papermatrix.py in the terminal (or equivalent w/ different configurations on different OS)

• open source license w.r.t. Qt
• a better way to generate unique paper id.
• font size for accurate collapse/expand entries in viewers
• reset default view mode (when dragging columns, adjusting width went too far)
• move entries up and down in Comparator's proxyView, and save the order in db.
• article attribute: reading progress (see ReadingProgess class in article.py).
• warning message window for reassurance.
• markdown & mathjax support.
• load / save database via GUI filesystem
• standard data i/o api, e.g. JSON, from pasted bibtex, etc. (too lazy & just using pickle for now :p)
• tidy up menu bar & status bar & tool bar (not having one though)
• installer & icon for win/Linux
• aesthetics, icon, itemDelegates
• ...
