v0.1.6

@github-actions github-actions released this 28 Oct 10:46

English

New

  • Citations and links work again in the PDF reader. Links inside a PDF (citation numbers like [6, 7], "Fig. 1", section references) are drawn in blue and clickable. A citation scrolls to its place in the paper, and ↩ Back returns you to where you were. Web addresses open outside the app.
  • Dictionary-style word lookup. Select one to three English words and choose Translate: you get the word with its UK/US pronunciation, its meanings by part of speech, and what it means in this sentence. Longer selections are translated as before. Looking up a word sends the word and its sentence (up to 400 characters) in one AI request; nothing else is sent.
  • Mention notes in notes. Type @ in a note (or use the @ button) to pick another note, and write things like "this answers @1 and uses the view in @3". Notes are now numbered from top to bottom in the Notes list and in the editor. The Notes list draws an arrow from a note to each note it mentions; selecting a note lights only the arrows it sends. Numbers can change when you add a note above, and your mentions follow the notes, not the numbers. If you delete a note, mentions of it show as @✕.

Fixed

  • Selecting text in the PDF reader could start or end a few pixels away from the printed words on justified lines, and more at higher zoom. Each word is now placed where it is printed, and the selection follows.

Notes

  • Builds are unsigned. On macOS, right-click the app and choose Open the first time; on Windows, choose More info → Run anyway.
  • The new items have not been tried on a real Windows machine.

中文

新增

  • PDF 阅读器里的引用和链接又能点了。 PDF 里的链接(引用编号如 [6, 7]、“Fig. 1”、章节引用)显示为蓝色,可以点击。点引用会跳到论文里对应的位置,点“↩ 返回原处”回到原来的位置;网址在应用外打开。
  • 词典式查词。 选中 1 到 3 个英文单词再点“翻译”,会显示词条、英式/美式音标、按词性列出的释义,以及它在这句话里的意思。更长的选区仍按原来的方式翻译。查词会把这个词和它所在的句子(最多 400 字)放进一次 AI 请求里,不会发送别的内容。
  • 笔记里可以 @ 别的笔记。 在笔记里输入 @(或点 @ 按钮)选择另一条笔记,可以写成“这一句回答了@1 的问题,用了@3 的观点”。笔记现在自上而下编号,列表和编辑框里都能看到编号。左栏会画出从这条笔记指向它 @ 的各条笔记的箭头;选中一条笔记时只亮起它发出的箭头。在上面新增笔记后编号会变,但 @ 跟着笔记走,不会指错。删除某条笔记后,别处对它的 @ 会显示为 @✕。

修复

  • 在 PDF 阅读器里选中文字时,两端用的是对齐排版的行,选区起止位置可能和印刷的字差几个像素,放大后更明显。现在每个词都放在它印刷的位置上,选区随之对齐。

说明

  • 安装包未签名。macOS 第一次打开时右键应用选“打开”;Windows 选“更多信息 → 仍要运行”。
  • 这几项新功能还没有在真实的 Windows 电脑上试过。

v0.1.5

@github-actions github-actions released this 26 Oct 17:02

English

New

  • Remove from library. A saved paper's details in the library now have Remove from library. In one project's library it leaves that project; in All it leaves every project that saved it. The PDF and your notes are kept.
  • Show in folder. A paper with a downloaded PDF has Show in folder, which opens Finder or File Explorer with the file selected.

Changed

  • The reader's Open in browser button, which did nothing in the app, is now Open externally: it opens the PDF in your system's default PDF app.

Fixed

  • PDFs downloaded from CNKI (知网) were refused when attached ("PDF 不完整或缺少有效结尾"). CNKI adds its own file information after the end of the PDF; that is now accepted, as PDF readers do.
  • A paper with two CNKI links showed Open in CNKI twice on the reader's no-PDF screen.

Notes

  • Builds are unsigned. On macOS, right-click the app and choose Open the first time; on Windows, choose More info → Run anyway.
  • Show in folder and Open externally have not been tried on a real Windows machine.

中文

新增

  • 移出论文库。 论文库里收藏论文的详情多了“移出论文库”。在某个项目的论文库里点,只从这个项目移出;在“全部”里点,从所有收藏过它的项目移出。PDF 和笔记都会保留。
  • 在文件夹中显示。 有已下载 PDF 的论文多了“在文件夹中显示”,会打开访达或资源管理器并选中那个文件。

改动

  • 阅读器右上角原来的“浏览器打开”在应用里点了没反应,现在改为“外部打开”:用系统默认的 PDF 应用打开这篇 PDF。

修复

  • 从知网下载的 PDF 附加时被拒绝(“PDF 不完整或缺少有效结尾”):知网会在 PDF 结尾之后加上自己的文件信息,现在和常见的 PDF 阅读器一样接受它。
  • 一篇论文有两个知网链接时,阅读器的“无 PDF”页面会出现两个“在知网打开”。

说明

  • 安装包未签名。macOS 第一次打开时右键应用选“打开”;Windows 选“更多信息 → 仍要运行”。
  • “在文件夹中显示”和“外部打开”还没有在真实的 Windows 电脑上试过。

v0.1.4

Choose a tag to compare

@github-actions github-actions released this 26 Oct 15:49

English

New

  • Download in the app. When PageTide cannot fetch a paper's PDF itself (a site that only lets browsers download, a bot check), the reader offers Download in the app. It opens the paper's page in a PageTide window, where you get the PDF as in a browser; the PDF is then added to the paper by itself and the reader opens it. If the page asks for a sign-in or a human check, you complete it in that window; PageTide never does it for you. Some sites still do not hand the PDF over; the reader then tells you to download it from the original page in your browser and drop it in.

Changed

  • PDFs you add yourself (dropped, chosen, or from the download window) are kept in the library's PDF folder. Clearing the downloaded paper information never removes them.

Fixed

  • Some valid PDFs were refused when attached ("PDF 缺少索引字典结束信息"): a comment line near the end of the file, which some PDF tools write, is now accepted.

Notes

  • Builds are unsigned. On macOS, right-click the app and choose Open the first time; on Windows, choose More info → Run anyway.
  • Download in the app has not been tried on a real Windows machine. If the PDF does not arrive there, use the PDF viewer's save button in that window, or download it in your browser and drop it in.

中文

新增

  • 在应用里下载。 PageTide 自己下不到论文 PDF 时(网站只允许浏览器下载、有人机验证),阅读器会给出“在应用里下载”。它在 PageTide 的窗口里打开论文页面,你像在浏览器里一样拿到 PDF,PDF 会自动附到这篇论文上并在阅读器里打开。页面要求登录或人机验证时,在那个窗口里自己完成,PageTide 不会代你操作。有些网站仍然拿不到 PDF,这时阅读器会提示你在浏览器里从原文页面下载,再拖进来。

改动

  • 你自己加入的 PDF(拖入、选择或从下载窗口拿到的)保存在论文库的 PDF 文件夹里,“清除已下载的论文信息”不会删除它们。

修复

  • 一些正常的 PDF 附加时被拒绝(“PDF 缺少索引字典结束信息”):现在接受部分 PDF 工具写在文件末尾附近的注释行。

说明

  • 安装包未签名。macOS 第一次打开时右键应用选“打开”;Windows 选“更多信息 → 仍要运行”。
  • “在应用里下载”还没有在真实的 Windows 电脑上试过。如果那边 PDF 没有自动加入,在下载窗口里点 PDF 查看器的保存按钮,或在浏览器里下载后拖进来。

v0.1.3

Choose a tag to compare

@github-actions github-actions released this 26 Oct 11:06

English

New

  • CNKI (知网) as a source for Chinese papers. Switch it on in Settings → Data sources. PageTide searches CNKI in a hidden window inside the app: daily refresh (up to 3 Chinese keywords, at most 100 new papers per project per refresh), candidates when creating a project, and seed-paper search by title. Papers show a 知网 label; the full abstract is read when you open a paper. If CNKI asks for its slider puzzle, the window appears and waits for you; PageTide never solves it itself. PDFs from CNKI are downloaded by hand (campus network).
  • Feature guide. A new 功能介绍 page explains every feature and workflow; it is linked from the top bar.
  • Version number in Settings, above the update check.

Changed

  • No relation, no paper. A paper is only fetched and recommended when its title or abstract mentions one of your project's keywords (or, with a learning map, one of its concepts). Chinese keywords must appear as written. Chinese searches on OpenAlex now ask for the exact phrase; before, they matched single characters and most results were unrelated. Unrelated papers fetched earlier stay in your library but are no longer recommended, so Chinese projects may show fewer papers until the next fetch.
  • Baidu search is retired; CNKI replaces it.
  • Project creation: creating without seed papers asks first and lets you search, create anyway or cancel; manual creation can search papers by query (no AI) and pick them with the same checkboxes as AI creation; a note warns when a ticked language has no source switched on; it explains that keywords drive later fetches while queries are used only during creation.
  • Top bar: 新建项目 is a prominent button; 管理项目 and 功能介绍 have icons.
  • Settings warns before leaving with unsaved changes.
  • PDF downloads you start yourself behave like a browser download: they no longer consult robots.txt, fill in a site's missing intermediate certificate, and accept links with Chinese characters. Sites that only allow browser downloads now say so: open the original page, download there, and drop the file into the reader. The "PDF on original page" label explains the same on hover.

Fixed

  • The reader could fail to load on some Windows machines ("Failed to fetch dynamically imported module"). The cause is not confirmed yet. The app now serves its own files with fixed types, and if pdf.js still cannot load, the message says what the app's server answered, so the cause can be found.
  • The manage-project page had lost its styles.

Notes

  • Builds are unsigned. On macOS, right-click the app and choose Open the first time; on Windows, choose More info → Run anyway.
  • CNKI has not been tried on a real Windows machine yet.

中文

新增

  • 知网作为中文论文来源。 在设置 → 数据源里打开。PageTide 在应用内的隐藏窗口里检索知网:每日刷新(每个项目每次最多 3 个中文关键词、最多 100 篇新论文)、创建项目时的候选论文、按题名查种子论文。知网论文带“知网”标识,打开论文时读取完整摘要。知网要求滑拼图时,窗口会弹出等你操作,PageTide 不会自己去滑。知网的 PDF 需要手动下载(校园网)。
  • 功能介绍页。 新的“功能介绍”页面讲清楚每个功能和流程,顶部栏有入口。
  • 设置里显示版本号,在“检查更新”上方。

改动

  • 没有关联就不抓、不推荐。 论文的标题或摘要至少要提到一个项目关键词(有学习图时也可以是学习图的概念),才会被抓取和推荐;中文关键词要原样出现。OpenAlex 的中文检索改为精确短语,以前是按单个汉字匹配,结果大多无关。以前已经抓进来的无关论文留在库里,但不再推荐,所以中文项目在下次抓取前推荐可能变少。
  • **百度搜索下线,**由知网代替。
  • 创建项目: 没有种子论文就创建时会先询问,可以选择查找论文、直接创建或取消;手动创建也能按检索式查论文(不用 AI),用和 AI 创建一样的复选框挑选;勾选的语言没有开启对应来源时会提示;页面说明了关键词决定以后的抓取,检索式只在创建时用来找论文。
  • 顶部栏: “新建项目”改成醒目的按钮,“管理项目”和“功能介绍”加了图标。
  • 设置有修改还没保存就离开时会提醒。
  • 自己点开的 PDF 下载和在浏览器里下载一样:不再读 robots.txt,会补上网站缺失的中间证书,能处理带中文的链接。只允许在浏览器里下载的网站会直接说明:打开原文页下载后拖进阅读器。“PDF 在原文页”标识的悬停说明也是这个意思。

修复

  • 部分 Windows 电脑上阅读器加载失败(“Failed to fetch dynamically imported module”),原因还没有确认。应用现在用固定的文件类型提供自带文件;如果 pdf.js 仍然加载不了,提示里会写出应用服务的回应,便于查原因。
  • 管理项目页面的样式丢失。

说明

  • 安装包未签名。macOS 第一次打开时右键应用选“打开”;Windows 选“更多信息 → 仍要运行”。
  • 知网还没有在真实的 Windows 电脑上试过。

PageTide v0.1.2

Choose a tag to compare

@github-actions github-actions released this 25 Oct 14:40

English

New

  • Highlights and notes in the PDF reader. Select text to highlight it in one of five colours or attach a note. The reader sidebar switches between page thumbnails, the PDF's own outline and a list of this file's notes.
  • Formulas in titles and abstracts. LaTeX such as $\mathbb{F}_p^d$ is now drawn as a formula (KaTeX, bundled, works offline).
  • Choose where your library lives. Settings → Storage and export → Change… copies the library to a folder you pick, checks the copy and restarts into it. The original folder is kept; once everything looks right, delete it from the same place. A folder that already holds a PageTide library is used as it is.

Changed

  • arXiv works without OpenAlex. With only arXiv switched on, PageTide searches arXiv's own API. Journals and conferences (OpenAlex) are searched only when you add a free OpenAlex key in Settings; with a key, an OpenAlex outage falls back to arXiv.
  • A failed fetch says one plain sentence (rate limited, no network, key refused) instead of showing a request URL.
  • Settings page redesigned: one row per setting, switches for on/off, every button has an edge, and test results show a green tick or a red cross.
  • AI questions live in the PDF reader. The floating assistant button on the home page is gone; ask from the reader's "Ask about this paper" button or a selection in the PDF.
  • Windows: closing the window keeps PageTide in the tray. Reopen it from the tray icon; quit from the tray menu.
  • Quieter interface: one type scale, smaller corners and shadows, no hover jumps; scrollbars hide 3 seconds after you stop scrolling; text can be selected only in abstracts, the PDF and input fields.
  • The guided tour shows once after installing (again only after a reinstall with no project).

Fixed

  • The "leave without saving" dialog on the project creation page was white in dark mode.

Notes

  • Builds are unsigned. On macOS, right-click the app and choose Open the first time; on Windows, choose More info → Run anyway.
  • The Windows tray behaviour and the folder chooser on Windows have not been tried on a real Windows machine yet.

中文

新增

  • PDF 阅读器支持高亮和笔记。 选中文字后可以用五种颜色高亮或写笔记。侧栏可以切换页面缩略图、PDF 自带的大纲和本文件的笔记列表。
  • 标题和摘要里的公式能正常显示。 例如 $\mathbb{F}_p^d$ 会渲染成公式(内置 KaTeX,离线可用)。
  • 可以自己选论文库放在哪里。 设置 → 存储与导出 → “更改…”,把论文库复制到你选的文件夹、校验后重启使用;原来的文件夹会保留,确认没问题后在同一处点“删除”。选中的文件夹里已有 PageTide 论文库时直接使用它。

改动

  • 只用 arXiv 不再依赖 OpenAlex。 只开 arXiv 时直接查 arXiv 自己的接口。期刊与会议论文(OpenAlex)需要在设置里填写免费的 OpenAlex 密钥才会检索;有密钥时 OpenAlex 出问题会自动改查 arXiv。
  • 抓取失败时只显示一句话(限流、断网、密钥无效),不再显示请求网址。
  • 设置页重新设计: 每项一行,开关用开关控件,按钮都有边框,测试成功显示绿色对勾,失败显示红色叉。
  • AI 提问只在 PDF 阅读器里。 主页右下角的助手按钮去掉了;在阅读器里点“对这篇提问”或选中 PDF 文字后提问。
  • Windows:关闭窗口后缩到托盘。 点托盘图标恢复窗口,在托盘菜单里退出。
  • 界面更安静: 统一字号层级,圆角和阴影更小,悬停不再跳动;滚动条停止滚动 3 秒后自动隐藏;只有摘要、PDF 和输入框里的文字可以选中。
  • 新手引导只出现一次(重新安装且没有项目时才会再出现)。

修复

  • 创建项目页“未保存就离开”的提示框在深色模式下是白色的。

说明

  • 安装包未签名。macOS 第一次打开时右键应用选“打开”;Windows 选“更多信息 → 仍要运行”。
  • Windows 的托盘行为和选文件夹窗口还没有在真实的 Windows 电脑上试过。

PageTide v0.1.1

Choose a tag to compare

@Chandery Chandery released this 24 Oct 16:55

English

PageTide v0.1.1

  • The app is now called PageTide, with a new icon and wordmark.
  • On first launch you choose the interface language and appearance, then a guided tour runs on a read-only demo project: projects, settings, today's picks and AI preview, saved papers, ask about a selection, library and import, graph, profile and weekly report. The demo runs offline, spends no tokens and writes nothing to your data.
  • New installs no longer come with a default project or sample seed papers; you start by creating your own project.
  • In-app update check: when a new version exists, the home page says so; click "Update" to download, verify and install it (can be turned off in Settings).
  • Settings: a "Get" link next to the DeepSeek key; Baidu keeps only Baidu Search.
  • The recommend button no longer has a fixed paper count; "Not interested" and "Too hard" are visible on the card and can be undone.
  • AI preview covers the whole batch of recommendations (1 to 20 papers, one AI call) and says more per paper: 2–3 sentences on the problem, method and result, 1–2 sentences on why it is relevant to you, and one caution.
  • Windows: "Read PDF" no longer fails with "network unavailable" for arXiv and similar sites, and "original page" and publisher links now open in your default browser.
  • macOS: Intel Macs are now supported. Download PageTide-macos-arm64.zip for Apple silicon (M1 and later) or PageTide-macos-x64.zip for Intel; the in-app update picks the right one.
  • The app no longer waits on a slow network name lookup when it starts.

All builds are unsigned. See the README for how to open the app the first time.

Windows: the download is blocked

The installer has no code signature, so the browser or Windows Defender may block it:

  1. If the browser says the file "isn't commonly downloaded" or "may be dangerous", open the download list, click … → "Keep" → "Show more" → "Keep anyway".
  2. If it then shows "Failed – Download error", Defender has quarantined the file: open "Windows Security" → "Virus & threat protection" → "Protection history", find the threat just recorded (often named like Wacatac), open it → "Actions" → "Allow on device", then download again.
  3. If running the installer shows "Windows protected your PC", click "More info" → "Run anyway".

To check the file in PowerShell: Get-FileHash .\PageTide_0.1.1_x64-setup.exe -Algorithm SHA256 must match the content of PageTide_0.1.1_x64-setup.exe.sha256.


中文

PageTide v0.1.1

  • 应用改名为 PageTide,换上新图标与字标。
  • 第一次打开先选界面语言与外观,再进入只读演示项目的新手指引:项目、设置、今日推荐与 AI 速览、收藏、划词提问、论文库与导入、图谱、画像、周报。演示离线运行,不花 token,不写入你的数据。
  • 新安装不再自带默认项目和示例种子论文,从创建自己的项目开始。
  • 应用内检查更新:有新版本时在主页提示,点“更新”下载、校验并安装(可在设置里关闭)。
  • 设置:DeepSeek 密钥旁加“获取”链接;百度只保留百度搜索。
  • 推荐按钮不再写死篇数;“不感兴趣”“太难”在卡片上可见,可撤销。
  • AI 速览覆盖整批推荐(1 到 20 篇,一次 AI 调用),每篇写得更充实:2 到 3 句说明研究问题、方法和结果,1 到 2 句说明为什么和你相关,再加一句需要注意的地方。
  • Windows:阅读 arXiv 等网站的 PDF 不再报“网络不可用”;“原文页面”和出版商链接会用默认浏览器打开。
  • macOS:新增 Intel 版。Apple 芯片(M1 及以后)下载 PageTide-macos-arm64.zip,Intel 下载 PageTide-macos-x64.zip;应用内更新会自动选对应的版本。
  • 启动时不再因为网络名称解析慢而卡住。

所有平台都是未签名构建,首次打开的方法见 README。

Windows 下载被拦截怎么办

安装包没有代码签名,浏览器或 Windows Defender 可能拦下它:

  1. 浏览器提示“通常不会下载”或“可能有害”时,在下载列表里点 … →“保留”→“显示更多”→“仍然保留”。
  2. 如果之后显示“无法下载 - 下载错误”,是 Defender 把文件隔离了:打开“Windows 安全中心”→“病毒和威胁防护”→“保护历史记录”,找到刚才那条威胁记录(名字常见 Wacatac 之类),点开 →“操作”→“允许”,然后重新下载。
  3. 运行安装包时如果出现“Windows 已保护你的电脑”,点“更多信息”→“仍要运行”。

可以用 PowerShell 校验文件:Get-FileHash .\PageTide_0.1.1_x64-setup.exe -Algorithm SHA256,结果应与 PageTide_0.1.1_x64-setup.exe.sha256 的内容一致。
