Wonderful plugin + questions about future features

Hi

I just want to say THANK YOU SO MUCH for developing Beaver and making it available. Hope this project will grow and become bigger and bigger. I am just wondering if there are plans to make Beaver support files over 500 pages and /or more than 50MB in size. Also, would it be possible to make Beaver use local LLMs like ollama does?

Thank you again

Glad to hear that! :)

On file size: Yes, absolutely. Goal for now is 2,000 pages and maybe 200MB per-file. There will be a new (unrelated) release in a week or so. The whole file processing system is probably next after that including support for larger file sizes.

On local models: We have an issue for support of local models and processing (#35). Not the highest priority right now but generally very interested in it.

Please do let us know when you run into any issues!

Hello Dr. Legewie,

I’m writing to express my deepest gratitude for developing this incredible plugin. While Zotero is already an exceptional tool, Beaver has taken it to a whole new level. Your work is truly remarkable, and I appreciate your dedication to creating such a fantastic product. Please continue in developing it!

Best,

@abduazizR Just as a quick update: Getting closer to increasing the file limits. Hope to get there in the month or so (but things can always change).
