Hello, list!
Epiphany used to be my primary browser until it entered beta ("not
google beta, but an honest beta") because of the move to WebKit. Every
time there's a new release I try Epiphny again, but one thing that
holds me from moving back is the lack of integration with [1]Zotero.
Zotero is the most prominent free and open source software for
bibliographic reference management. It was created as an add-on for
Firefox, but there's a standalone version as well. The standalone
version can be integrated with Safari, Chrome and even Firefox with
browser-specific extensions, and both the Firefox add-on and the
standalone versions can be integrated with LibreOffice (or Word) and,
through exporting, to LaTeX.
There's also a javascript bookmarklet, which currently can be used in
Web (or any other browser) to extract metadata from the current page
and send it to a remote (cloud-based) database, which latter can be
synchronized with the local database. That's not quite a swift
workflow, and currently I don't use the bookmarklet even when I read
something in a mobile device (with no Zotero at all).
So I would like to know if someone who does know how to write code
would like to consider writing a Web extension to make it talk with the
standalone version of Zotero. It seems to me that Zotero's web site has
ample documentation for developers, and the Safari (and probably
Chrome) extension is already written in javascript.
Thanks in advance,
and please keep coming with the cool features and bright design
decisions I have been seeing for the last years.
