+status: partially-implemented
+
+This documents a series of changes made in early 2021, before launch.
+
+## Default URLs and Access (done)
+
+Replace current access link under thumbnail with a box that can expand to show
+more access options: domain, rel, filetype, release (version), maybe wayback date
+
+Labels over the thumbnail should show type (PDF, HTML), and maybe release stage
+(if different from primary release).
+
+"Blue Links" for each hit should change, eg:
+
+- if arxiv, arxiv.org
+- elif PMID or PMCID, PubMed
+- elif DOI, publisher (or whatever; follow the DOI)
+- elif microfilm, go to access
+- else fatcat landing page
+
+What about: JSTOR, DOAJ
+
+
+## Version Display (done)
+
+Instead of showing a grid, could keep style similar to what already exits: the
+single line of year/venue/status, then a line of identifiers in green (done)
+
+
+## Query Behaviors
+
+- "fail less": re-write more queries, potentially after ES has already returned a failure (done)
+- change the default of only showing fulltext hits?
+
+
+## Tooltips/Extras (done)
+
+- show date when mouse-over year field
+- have some link of container name to fatcat container page
+
+
+## Clickable Queries
+
+Allow search filters by clicking on: author, year, container
+
+Filters should simply be added to current query string. Not sure how to implement.
+
+
+## Responsive Design (done)
+
+There is a window width (tablet?) where we keep a fixed column width with
+margins, which results in small thumbnails. (done)
