Every couple of months I get slightly annoyed by Zotero and look for other reference managers and come to the conclusion that others are far more buggy!
Why don’t we have a reference manager that’s more — modern? Why can’t I take notes like I would in a good text editor? The way to add notes is clunky, I can’t easily see what papers have cited the current paper? Generating notes from my annotations is always not intuitive? Am I missing something here?
@independentpen@aspiringcat@academicchatter They are all excellent and serve different purposes. @zettlr is the best one if you're only interested in academic work. If you prefer to work with an outliner or journal-style notes, @logseq is the best one. They are both open-source. @obsidian is better if you're interested in a more flexible and interlinked note-taking system. This is the one I use. All three apps use local markdown files to keep your notes. Hope that was helpful :ablobsmile:
Yay! Zettlr 3.0 (@zettlr) is finally out after an immense amount of work by developer @hendrikerz. It’s got some great new features — with more on the way — and has been an amazing tool with which to think, write, and take notes.
