What it does

Written by AI from the README

Restyles the item list with new columns: reading time per page shown behind the title, annotation density, bold for unread, tag and journal-rank columns, and ratings. Adds saved column layouts, nested tags, quick filters and a graph view.

The stock list shows only bibliographic fields, so you can't see what you've read, how far you got or which journals rank highly. This puts reading state and rank in the main view.

What you'll need

Detected automatically
  • An API key for some featuresWorks without one: Progress, tags and colour columns and the other core features, which have no key setting. Needs a key (easyScholar): easyScholar journal-ranking data needs the user's easyScholar secret key.
