Because Obsidian is still so new, that situation can still be avoided – perhaps with nothing more than an exchange of few emails. It's simply too much to ask of either project.
Scrivener zotero integration code#
The gist of it, if I remember correctly, is that Scrivener made some decisions during it's early days that would essentially require either Zotero or Scrivener to rewrite tons of code from scratch. Why am I bringing all this up now? I remember a conversation about why Scrivener is unlikely to ever have Zotero integration. My hope is that somebody from Zotero might reach out just to establish an open communication channel. Probably won't be all that exciting if you don't use it.Īnyway, I wanted to put this on your radar because over in their forums, one of their most visible team members enthusiastically indicated that they'd be interested in Zotero integration. You don't have to use the Zettelkasten system to use Obsidian, but that's what it's designed for. It's a fascinating, weird, and – in my opinion – very promising system of taking and organizing notes. It's hard to explain why Obsidian is so exciting without understanding Zettelkasten. (I recently learned that it's led by the pair who make Dynalist, if anybody's familiar with that.) The developers are astonishingly productive, so it already seems remarkably polished and has a sizable and fast-growing user base. Within the Zettelkasten community, a new text editor is quickly becoming popular.
