one or two Billies in volume Possibly the most universal of all units of measurements. For the uninitiated: https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/billy-bookcase-white-00263850/
I've never heard "billy" used like this before now, thanks for the clarification.
I love zotero, and this isn’t the web product, but I really wish I could share a link to a bibliography to someone. I have to export and send the text. I’d like to be able to share my Foo citation library with a colleague without making my whole account public. Would also be great for systematic reviews.
Is it still based on the XUL platform?
Any OCR support? I literally pay 20$ a month to fill out PDFs
I've been using this in beta for quite a while. The PDF reader is really very good, and I love the fact that my highlights and notes are not added to the actual PDF file. (I don't want to mess up the original PDF file, because I like to keep those files in pristine form so that e.g. I can share them with students.) Some people here are asking about paying for storage for the PDFs. My solution to this is to store my P…
I used Zotero quite a bit in the past, the thing that ultimately drove me away is that when synchronizing you couldn't easily access the PDFs just via the filesystem. I use a nextcloud and also wanted to access PDFs from devices without Zotero installed and this turned out to be a pain at the time. Is this possible with more recent Zotero versions? Is the sync still cumbersome with a zotero account + self-hosted webd…
I have a similar setup (Zotero + dropbox). Zotero syncs the entries and any notes, but dropbox takes care of the pdf storage. You can swap out dropbox for your storage of choice. I use zotfile ( http://zotfile.com ) to handle this. Files are all stored in a single folder (which can be in different locations depending on computer) which I point zotfile to. Inside that each paper is put into a folder based on author na…

You can still access the pdf file via the file system by right clicking on the item and 'show file'. The files names may not be user friendly though.
This is great to have consistent filenames from lots of different sources. Of course if the metadata is wrong or missing, it won't help.
Anybody use this for business or consulting? I finished my thesis a long time ago.
On the other hand, my post-academic career has been still pretty reasearch-y at times, so I read papers.
But I've used it to organize/track datasheets, whitepapers, resumes, consulting inputs, etc.
I’m still using qiqqa for my open source pdf search engine but the qiqqa team has moved on. Qiqqa has been a secret weapon for me in pulling up relevant paragraphs from research papers, ebooks, and standards that I have previously saved but not fully read.
