Feature Request: Quick cite workflow

Closed this issue ยท 1 comments

Feature Requested

This is a great plugin for Alfred, thank you for your awesome work. ๐Ÿ˜‡

I think it would be really helpful if we can make search-add-cite workflow more fluently: invoke Alfred, search some content in search bar on arXiv or Google scholar (this is for computer science, or user can custom sources), pick the article you want, and hit a enter key, boom, the bibtex of that article add to .bib file automatically (arXiv and Google scholar has open relative APIs), and you can then easily cite it with + in Alfred.

What I want to say is the data collect function of this plugin is a little weak, and it is very important for me to add bibtex and cite it to rush a paper, this process is time-consuming and painful for now, so I really want this plugin can solve it. ๐Ÿ˜Š

well, this tool is a citation picker after all ๐Ÿคฃ

What you are describing goes more into references adder like the Zotero Connector, which isn't really the goal of the project. It also would require a completely different code base to accomplish that, so I don't think I'm gonna implement this.

But since are doing Computer Science, you could probably build such a tool yourself? ๐Ÿ˜›
