jabref VS moment

JabRef might work for you. Website link and GitHub link.

This issue https://github.com/JabRef/jabref/issues/5867 hints at JavaFX issue with the potential workaround of running with the environment variable GDK_DISPLAY=1.

I use JabRef for managing references, which allows you to generate entries via a DOI and saves to a local .bib file.

If the town is "online reference managers," you are probably right, but I would argue that reference managers are one of those areas where you really want something offline:

- Offline ensures that you do not suffer an externally caused downtime just before a deadline

- Offline ensures that you have a path for keeping your database throughout your research career, and to do system updates when _you_ want to.

- Offline ensures that if you leave academia, you will always have access to local copies of the academic papers you have referenced.

My favorite offline/local reference manager is `jabRef` [0] which stores all metadata directly in a bibtex-file. The GUI has an excellent pdf-integration, and everything is local and super fast.

Case in point: after a decade in industry, I am looking to get back into my academic fief. All the papers I ever read are in my Dropbox, and all I had to do to pick up where I left was download a current version jabRef and point it to my database which it read without any issues.

I used JabRef throughout my work. It's indeed too late for my PhD work, but Zotero does indeed look very nice.

Moment.js lets you do amazing things with dates and times in JavaScript. You can easily compare, change, and format them in different ways. For example, you can say things like "today is Monday" or "3 hours ago" or "12/31/2020". To start with Moment.js, you need to install it and import it into your JavaScript project. For example:

Ah, Moment.js, the guardian angel of date and time manipulation. Ever needed to format a date, calculate durations, or display something like "2 days ago"? Moment.js has got your back. It's a lifesaver for anything date and time-related, making it a must-have in your project, especially if you're into making your users feel like you really get them.

After hours of trying to figure out why Jekyll was still showing "Today" for a post I modified last week, I remembered that I am using the timeago filter from jekyll-timeago plugin. I was rendering the dates using {{ doc.last_modified_at | timeago }}. As you know, Jekyll is a static site generator, and it renders this as HTML at the time of build, and only then. This means any date rendered with timeago is hardcoded as is in the HTML and won't change until the next build. I switched all the dates to the "%-d %b %y" format for now. Might use moment.js in the future to get the timeago dates back.

For the longest time working with dates in JavaScript was a huge pain. That’s why libraries such as moment.js or date-fns are so popular. A lot of times I’d reach for these libraries when working with relative time formatting, but since late last year we’ve had pretty great browser support for the RelativeTimeFormat() method. In my mind, relative dates are just more visually appealing, especially for working with dates internationally. Dates like "5 days ago" or "in 2 months" are far more intuitive for users than 12/12/2023, or 03/11/2027. Folks in the US will see that as March 11, 2027, whereas the rest of the world will see that as November 03, 2027. What a nightmare.

We could control the DST flip by setting the test's input time to the appropriate time of year (summer/winter). However we couldn't control the timezone. We had to adjust the expected data in the test 🤢 using the same library which the production code used (momentjs).
