Re: CSL-JSON support plans?

I use Hook (www.hookproductivity.com) to add markdown-formatted links from Bookends to my Obsidian notes. The beauty is that these work between desktop and mobile: in iOS, I use 1Writer to manage my Obsidian .md notes and the links automatically open Bookends references. Between them, Obsidian and H...

Re: The era of "cloud reference managers"?

Avoid ReadCube Papers like the plague. After one crash too many on Papers the year before last, I switched to ReadCube.
