I really like the regexp matching approach because is fast and doesn't need any database at all, the downside is that not all publishers' websites have meaningful urls :(
I choose Flask to make this because I am learning python for my work and Flask seemed to be really easy to make a one-page app like this, and indeed with very few lines of code and trips over to the documentation I was able to pull this off in the weekend.
Tell me what you think and feel free to suggest any improvement or addition, i would really like this to be useful for more people than the ones that live between the four astrophysics journals I implemented :)
