It was publicly announced in 2018. See for example: https://www.nrk.no/osloogviken/vikingskip-funn-gar-verden-ru...

Discoverd in April 2018—what happened just now is that an academic article has been published about it. What a cool thing to find steps outside your house...

Hadn't heard of pandoc before. Momentarily thought it converted from PDF to anything, and my heart leapt. Alas, it only converts to PDF. My hopes dashed...

The short answer is: mostly, a lot of regex. Yes, there’s also a lot more to it. Happy to discuss—reach out at michael@cite.ly :)

I'm a lawyer. I found myself writing a lot of legal briefs—but didn't like the Bluebooking and cite-checking part (it's kind of like linting code, but for lawyers and their briefs). So, I used Django to create http://www.cite.ly, which automates the process of checking legal writing for Bluebooking errors and misquotations of case law through a web app.

We turned a 5- to 10-hour process into one that takes 10 minutes!

The app itself is in private beta at this point. We also rely on the software internally while externally offering a service where lawyers send us their briefs and we show them the errors that the software finds :)
