I like Zotero precisely because of its UI. It's efficient, and reminds me of the Firefox bookmarks manager.
In fact, I wish I could replace or merge Firefox's bookmark manager with Zotero, so I'd get the best of both worlds.
- andrepd 7y agoFirefox's bookmark and history manager is atrocious x) Reminds me of IE5 or something like that.
- jmiserez 7y agoZotero is/was a XUL application, and the whole application used to (also) be a Firefox plugin. So the similarities are not unexpected.
- novok 7y agoI was wondering how they implemented native UI with just javascript and nothing obvious in their package.json
- retorquere 7y agoIs, for now. The parts of FF that Zotero relied on are being phased out (listed on the Mozilla docs site as "Archive of obsolete content"), so a transition to Electron is planned, and as part of that transition plan, parts are already being rewritten from XUL into React/HTML.
- bloopernova 7y agoI like the Firefox bookmarks manager a lot, especially the tags you can apply to a bookmark then search on. If I get good enough with Lisp, I want to write an importer that takes all the tags from my bookmarks sqlite db, write them into org-mode files with each tagged bookmark listed in the relevant file.
