Document Annotation and Linking - cs428TAs/w2023 GitHub Wiki

Idea

This project would be creating a web-based document annotation and linking app. The idea is to have a collection of documents that you can easily add footnotes, and links. You could also view documents side-by-side. Hopefully we'd be able to get to advanced searching using something like Elastic Search. Think WordCruncher but less bulky and more cloud friendly. Plus, mobile support and fancy gestures. Or the Gospel Library App, but with your own collection of documents.

Tech

I'm thinking about using Blazor WebAssembly mixed with .NET MAUI to provide both a web interface, and native application. Also, using SignalR to get live changes.

Questions

I understand that my description may not be the best, so feel free to ask questions here and I'll do my best to answer them.

  • How is this different?
    • The goal is to focus more on studying and making it simple to link, annotate, note, while also having the capability to get into the technical filtering for advanced study.
