obsidian-zotero-integration VS Zotero2Readwise

Here's the github: https://github.com/mgmeyers/obsidian-zotero-integration

Obsidian is still new to me so I can't say for sure if it's worth switching from the Citations plugin. I feel like the biggest benefit of the Zotero Integration is that it makes use of the Zotero Connector and it provides a more straightforward note importing process (at least that's the case for me lol). It still requires Better Bibtex to manage Cite keys tho! For reference: https://github.com/mgmeyers/obsidian-zotero-integration

As an aside, if you do any sort of academic writing, the Zotero Integration + Pandoc plug-ins have been a game changer. It is quite an intense rabbit hole (at least for me as a humanities person) that took me to the command line, but one I’m glad I traveled down. In essence, it allows me to thoughtlessly create a fantastic first draft WITH an automatic bibliography…so, so nice to have.

Another problem is that no matter how much I tried, the two available Zotero plugins for Obsidian do not work for me (this https://github.com/mgmeyers/obsidian-zotero-integration and this https://github.com/hans/obsidian-citation-plugin). I am not sure if that is because I'm on Linux, but they just don't work. However, RStudio on Linux works great with Zotero, and I can easily add citations using the Better BibTeX for Zotero plugin (https://github.com/retorquere/zotero-better-bibtex) to create citation keys. That way, I can simply copy/paste the citation key (e.g. '@lastname2020') in the text and have it render into the citation when I render the file in Rstudio. I sometimes write documents with > 300 references, and Zotero running in a Windows VM, trying to refresh a huge word document would take a long time, and would lead to corrupt citations. That's no problem with a markdown/Rmarkdown document.

> bookmark manager which integrates with Obsidian?

There is a raindrop plugin [1]. also, Zotero [2] could work as a bookmark manager.

Hi, You can use the plugin Zotero integration by mgmeyers. The documentation is a bit outdated but it works well. My workflow is as follows:

The Obsidian Zotero Integration plug-in from mgmyers seems promising, but I have some problems with it still.

There's some discussion here: https://forum.obsidian.md/t/zotero-zotero2readwise-python-library-readwise-workflow/29798 about Python library https://github.com/e-alizadeh/Zotero2Readwise. No .csv needed. The pro/con is that it syncs all highlights.
