Update/fix usage instructions #91

Open fredcallaway opened 1 year ago

fredcallaway commented 1 year ago

It took me about an hour to get this working, which is pretty silly. Mostly problems with authorization. I would like to update the README based on my experience. Just checking that the repo is maintained before I do this.

One question: I was only able to get the authorization code by copying it from the redirect URL—is this the intended mechanism? When I saw the "localhost refused to connect" page, I assumed something was wrong.

Hey @fredcallaway

I would like to update the README based on my experience

that would be splendid! Please, feel free to send a PR.

I would say that's the most reliable way as admin web UI keeps changing over the years 🙄

Thanks again @fredcallaway - with your improvements the README is in a much better shape! 🙇

If you have any feedback after using this or some other tools that you found useful in your workflow for reading papers - I would be very curious to hear!
