Not OP, I considered zotero, but for me, I used mobile too much and it seemed that it was a bit of the "wild west". I settled on Joplin which has a mobile app and has been great for me over the past 6 months. I'm working on a FF <-> Joplin bookmarks mirroring browser extension, which would get all of my bookmarks into Joplin as a SSOT.
- mStreamTeam 6y agoI'd like to agree and say joplin is great. I use synching to make sure my jolin notes are automatically synced between my phone, home computer, and work laptop
- kitotik 6y agoCurious why you don’t use the sync that ships with Joplin?
- petemir 6y agoJoplin does not offer any original synchronization system. It just offers NextCloud, Dropbox, Onedrive, Webdav or the local filesystem. If you don't use any of those services, or you do not have a server where to setup Webdav, Local filesystem + Syncthing seems like the best choice.
- jaster 6y agoGood point. I don't use it on mobile (I sync things between my personal and professional computer mostly) so I can't comment much on this aspect. Joplin seems very nice indeed! But it seems to be more oriented for personal notes no? I mostly use Zotero for archiving webpages and various digital media (Zotero allows e.g. to embedded an epub as an item, or to add a link to a file stored locally).
- lbotos 6y agoJoplin has a bookmarklet that lets you screenshot or copy html if you want webpages: https://joplinapp.org/clipper/ https://joplinapp.org/clipper/ I haven't gotten too deep into the "media" aspects -- but it's been great to act as a "digital note hub" that encompasses writing, research, and tagging.
- FlashBlaze 6y agoHave you given Zettlr https://www.zettlr.com/ https://www.zettlr.com/ a try?
- ta988 6y agoYes a Zotero app for mobile is something unfortunately missing. Ot doesnt seem too hard to talk to their API though.
- petemir 6y agoPapership exists for iOS. It's not perfect, but it is good enough. I principally use it to search through the tree structure of documents, and then open them with other apps.
- ta988 6y agoI discovered today "Zoo for Zotero", an android app that is Free. Seems to work well.
- newfromblammo 6y agoThere has been a Zotero mobile app in the worka for awhile. The API is brilliant, if you’re an iOS user you can use Shortcuts to build with it.
