DeepTutor – Chat with your research library (Zotero fork)
Isn't Zotero AGPL licensed software; such that forks must share their modifications?

(I'm not affiliated with Zotero, though I've enjoyed the advantages of their open source software for research and bibliographic metadata)

Zotero hacks: reliably setup unlimited storage for your personal academic library
There are dozens of bibliographic managers out there (see a comparative table). Some of them are free, the others require paid subscriptions. Probably, the most popular two are Zotero and Mendeley. Both are free to use and make money by offering cloud storage to sync PDFs of the papers. Yet, both give some limited storage for free – Zotero gives 300MB, and Mendeley gives 2GB.2

Why Blog If Nobody Reads It?
I use Zotero[1] as a personal web archiver. It downloads the page locally, placing most of the resources inside a single html file (pictures become base64 encoded pngs, for example). I find it the best way to have the content available offline and also to be able to reference it easily, seeing as it is a citation manager first.
