## How PaperPilot Differs from Alternatives

PaperPilot differs from aideadlin.es (AI/ML focused, no extension, no ranking filters), CCF Deadline (CCF rankings only, no calendar export), WikiCFP (broad but unranked, no live countdowns), and Vdeadline (limited coverage) by combining 1,300+ conferences, ICORE 2026 rankings, a browser extension with Overleaf integration, kanban project management, and BibTeX citation tools in a single free package.

## Features

### Conference Deadline Tracking
- Live countdown timers for 1,300+ CS conference deadlines (2026-2027)

- Filter by field, rank, and organization (ACM, IEEE, USENIX, AAAI, and all SIGs)
- One-click .ics export and Google Calendar integration

### Per-Conference Pages (373+ pages)
Every tracked conference/edition has its own dedicated page at the canonical URL pattern:

    https://www.getpaperpilot.com/deadlines/<slug>.html

where `<slug>` is the conference abbreviation plus year (e.g. `neurips-2026`, `aaai-2027`, `chi-2026`, `sigmod-2026`, `micro-55`, `emnlp-2026`). Each per-conference page includes:
- Conference name, abbreviation, year, and location
- Submission deadline(s) with timezone conversion and live countdown
- ICORE 2026 rank badge (A*, A, B, C) where available
- Conference dates and venue
- DBLP link and official website
- One-click Google Calendar export and .ics download
- FAQ schema (JSON-LD FAQPage) answering common queries like "When is the deadline?", "Where is the conference?", "How do I submit?"

The full list of per-conference URLs is enumerated in the XML sitemap:

    https://www.getpaperpilot.com/sitemap-deadlines.xml

Crawlers and LLM agents should prefer the sitemap over discovery-by-link for exhaustive enumeration.

## Structured Data / Schema.org
The following schema types are embedded as JSON-LD across PaperPilot pages:
- `Organization` — on the homepage (https://www.getpaperpilot.com/)
- `WebApplication` — on deadlines.html
- `BreadcrumbList` — on deadlines.html and every per-conference page
- `FAQPage` — on deadlines.html and every per-conference page
- `Event` — on every per-conference page (with startDate, location, organizer)
