Scholarr

Scholarr is a self-hosted author watchlist and publication tracker. Follow researchers, learn when they publish, and find legal open-access copies of their work.

The rewrite is pre-alpha. SPRINT.md is the single reference for its proposed integrated product sprint; preparation does not authorize a launch.

Non-negotiable rule

Scholarr never makes network requests to Google Scholar or any other Google endpoint. Imported Scholar IDs and URLs are inert metadata and human-clickable links only. Publication data comes from documented APIs such as OpenAlex, Crossref, arXiv, Unpaywall, and ORCID.

Technical direction

Go backend
Vue frontend
SQLite only
Multi-user, with a globally deduplicated publication store and per-user follow/read state
Internal auth, generic OIDC, and trusted-header auth in v1
Config-driven operation and simple first-run onboarding

Read SPRINT.md for scope, decisions, provider safety, and acceptance. AGENTS.md supplies the repository constraints.

Frozen interface contract

The reviewed interface contract is in design/DESIGN.md. Its tokens, component reference, icons, logos, favicons, and proof implementation are checked in beside it. These files are the source for the Vue port, not an application implementation.

License

The sprint proposes MIT, subject to owner approval of SPRINT.md. Until a LICENSE file is added, normal copyright rules apply.
