- Full-text indexing (SQLite FTS or embedded search engine) for PDFs and extracted text.
- Tagging and faceted filters (course, week, type, tag).
- Principle: default to local-only storage; cloud only with explicit user opt-in.
- Use OAuth or export tokens where possible; avoid storing plaintext passwords.
- Encrypt backups and portable bundles.
- Sanitize filenames to avoid path traversal.
- Rate-limit requests and respect platform terms of service and robots.txt.
- Provide clear user consent and logs for automated scraping or scheduled downloads.
- Consequence: Your account is permanently banned, and you lose access to any documents you legitimately uploaded.
- Legal Note: Bypassing a paywall or violating a website’s Terms of Service (ToS) can lead to civil liability. While universities rarely expel students for this alone, a Terms of Service violation can be used as evidence in academic dishonesty hearings.
- Plugin API to add new platform adapters or export formats.
- CLI for scripted batch operations and integration with other tools.
