Changelog​

  • Created a script to convert (the reference) PDF files to text using Poppler's pdftotext feature, extract the first, and last, 1,792 characters, and create an LLM prompt that is used to create new reference

  • Created a script that coalesces all the LLM-generated JSON references into a file called reference.json.

  • Created a React component to support the Research Resources. It loads the references.json file, uses citation-js to process the JSON, then renders it in the DOM.

Notes​

I'm making an effort to get this site setup in a manner that makes cross-referencing, and citing, between articles of content super easy. This means writing React components for Docusaurus to support the features that I believe will be beneficial to supporting the growth of this research.

Getting this whole thing running has been an exercise in patience. I've never used React until now, and my JavaScript skills are questionable, at best. Thankfully, LLM's have made my ability to set this site up much, much, faster.
