obsidian-zotero-integration VS extension-save-to-pocket

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 The documentation is a bit outdated but it works well.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.

Pocket - For bookmarking stuff to read

Paywalls are annoying in daily browsing (more in the weekends and mornings!).

https://archive.is/ is great but one thing I noticed is that not play nicely with content extraction services such as https://getpocket.com/ and I think it is more about Pocket recognizing the Archive Today service than other thing.

Google Translate is an alternative that currently works with content readers. Basically the hack is to just not use the translation at all putting the same language in the language origin and destination.

as the title says, twitter and getpocket.com is not working properly in guest window when shield (aggressive mode) is "ON". if I off the shield then the website works properly. I am using latest version of brave browser on windows 10. I don't know its just me or anything else or the these two websites having some problems.

For longer articles, I really like reading with Pocket. This is going to sound like an ad, but it's an app/website made by the same non-profit foundation that makes Firefox. It lets you save articles, restart from where you left off, it tell you approximately how long (in minutes of reading time) the article is, it syncs between your devices, when you save it usually gets your around soft paywalls like the New Yorker's, it saves offline so you can read on the plane or subway. It strips away all the extraneous stuff like ads so it just shows you the article (sometimes it strips away useful things too, like pictures, for what it's worth). You can sign up for their emails and it's the only organization's email I'm happy I signed up for. They send you one email a day with a curated list of the most saved articles on the site. It's great, especially for long articles!

Use getpocket.com to bypass paywalls

Yeah. I've resorted now to using https://getpocket.com for individual chapters on my Kobo. Not really happy about it.

Another work around that works on 95% of sites: Use Pocket (getpocket.com) and save it to pocket. You will be able to read it there.

Other services include Pocket and Mozilla VPN.
