Stand-alone JabMap

[koppor]

Epic

As a user, I want to view, create, edit, and save a MindMap without JabRef running. I accept that I cannot get information on references (BibTeX data, table of available references, ...).

As user, I want to quickly start mind mapping. I do not want to choose the mode. If I did not start JabRef, I want the stand alone mode. If I started JabRef - and JabRef (or me) starts JabMap, the connection to JabRef is started. As user, I accept that there might be issues when JabRef is not loaded, but I expect JabRef mode.

Acceptance Criteria

User Stories

• [4pt] Decide on mode during startup and display mode #43
• [2pt] Load and save from JSON #42
• Standalone Electron App #50

Notes

This epic might sound strange: How should everything work if JabRef http server is not available? How to synchronize the local JSON file with the remote HTTP. These things are ignored for now.

The ultimate aim is to offer "the most beautiful lean desktop mindmap application supporting brainstorming and sharing knowledge".

Bright Future

• "synchronize local file with JabRef" - to synchronize the local JSON file (.jabmap?) with JabRef
• Load and save .bib directly (https://github.com/ORCID/bibtexParseJs)
