Technical Aspects

Technology Stack

Frontend: React, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, Shadcn/UI (for components), Lucide-React (for icons).

Backend: DashPlan platform’s backend-as-a-service, providing entities (database), integrations (LLM, file storage), and authentication.

Architectural Patterns

Component-Based: The application is built with a modular React component architecture, promoting reusability and maintainability.

Entity-Driven Design: Data models are clearly defined using JSON schemas (entities like Project, Paper, Chat, ScreenQuestion, JournalConference, etc.), with a strong emphasis on data integrity and relationships.

Integration-Focused: Heavy reliance on DashPlan integrations, especially the Core.InvokeLLM for all AI functionalities (question refinement, content generation, review, venue recommendations, simulated search).

Centralized State Management: While not explicitly using a global state library like Redux, state is effectively managed within components and passed down, with DashPlan entities handling persistent data.

Data Model

A rich data model designed to capture all aspects of a research project, including nested structures for research questions, segments, keyword plans, and review comments. Each entity includes standard DashPlan fields like id, created_date, created_by.

Responsiveness

The UI is designed to be fully responsive, adapting to various screen sizes using Tailwind CSS.
