Do not mistake the interface for the product. Litmaps's durable value is data, import reliability, which a solo one-shot build cannot reproduce responsibly. The prompt therefore builds only the closest honest personal consolation tool.

Build the closest honest consolation tool inspired by Litmaps; do not claim to replace its structural moat. Use exactly this stack: Next.js 15 + TypeScript + SQLite + Playwright. Primary job: Build a private literature discovery workspace that imports user-supplied URLs or files, extracts metadata, supports notes, and searches the local corpus. Start from an empty folder and create the complete working project. Functional Requirements: - Data Ingestion: Use Playwright to automatically navigate to user-provided scholarly URLs, bypassing simple banners, and extracting the abstract, title, and authors. - Literature Mapping: Create a basic visual node-graph (using a library like React Flow) to map out how imported papers relate based on shared keywords or manual user-defined links. - Note-Taking: Provide a simple markdown editor attached to each paper node. - Local Search: Implement an indexed local search to find papers by title, author, or keyword within the SQLite database. - PDF Handling: Allow local PDF uploads and extract raw text using a lightweight local parser. Architecture & State: - Make the default mode single-user and private. - Store user data, extracted text, and the network graph locally in SQLite. - Do not add analytics, telemetry, ads, or third-party accounts. - Put every secret and external credential in .env and provide .env.example. UI/UX & States: - Implement the smallest polished interface that completes the core loop end to end, focusing on the visual graph interface. - Include clear empty, loading (during Playwright scraping), validation, success, and failure states. - Add export functionality to save the bibliography as standard BibTeX or CSV. - Use accessible keyboard navigation, labels, focus states, and sensible contrast. Security & Constraints: - Validate untrusted input and never log secrets or private file contents. - Deliberately exclude these paid-product advantages: massive global citation graph scale; team libraries and institutional access; licensed scholarly metadata feeds. - Do not fake integrations, network effects, proprietary data, model quality, compliance, or security claims. Testing & DevOps: - Write focused unit tests for the data model, graph traversal, and metadata extraction. - Add one end-to-end smoke test that proves the core loop works. - Create a README with setup, permissions, architecture, data location, backup, and limitations. - Add scripts for install, development, test, build, and a production-style local run. - Run the tests and build before finishing, then fix errors rather than merely describing them.
