    Extract metadata/bibtex info from websites for org-capture

  • is anyone using org-capture-ref ? I am planning to replace my zotero in my workflow with emacs. so far capturing content from browsers and adding more details by hand which is tedious. Zotero auto-discovers such metadata automatically adaptive to the site. org-capture-ref seems to be doing a similar thing, org-ref does this but its main UX is from emacs, but when I read i mostly live on firefox and only capture when necessary. it helps me explore more, and would the method till get used to browsing via emacs, which may take a long time, because my bad I have huge resistance. I am going to try out org-capture-ref, but would like to know the experience of existing users.

  • zotra

  • Zotra looks like a promising way to use the Zotero translation server from emacs without using the Zotero client, but I haven't had proper time to tinker with it in my config yet.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • citar

    Emacs package to quickly find and act on bibliographic references, and edit org, markdown, and latex academic documents.

  • Per summary here, it cannot and will not by default (citar will only ever support org-cite), but one can configure it to do so if you'd like.
