Paper Trail

Paper Trail is a small Rails application I use to keep track of my reading. The source code is available on Github, licensed under the GPL. Some extremely rudimentary documentation is included in the README file.

Incompleteness

In truth, Paper Trail needs a lot of work. Here’s a list of the most major outstanding issues; patches are welcome.

  • A decent library of unit tests
  • RDoc for all the source code
  • Caching
  • Pagination
  • Custom 404 and 500 error pages
  • Autocomplete for author names
  • Cleaner transitions for Ajax editing
  • ‘Cancel’ buttons for the Ajax editing forms
  • A more elegant form design
