Zotero is nerfed by it's inability to read Finder tags, or take over finders ability to script automatic tagging.
Everything else costs more than itchio allows me to be paid in a month.
Is there anything else like this?

Here are some details of the new #logseq DB variant (currently in alpha):
https://discuss.logseq.com/t/logseq-db-unofficial-faq/32508
TL;DR:
- you can't edit the #Markdown files directly
- #orgdown support is lost
- EDN export is introduced besides MD export
- sync and RTC require a subscription
- practically, you can't run the sync on your own
- #Zotero no longer part of the core app
If this holds true, I can't endorse use of logseq any more.
I need to migrate other people's setups I was maintaining to a different solution. Too bad as it was the only good #PIM tool option I could find outside #Emacs #orgmode. 😔

It's a note about the relative strengths and weaknesses of using #Zettlr and #Zotero for note-taking and writing. Spoiler: I thought I would use Zotero less and less, but I find myself using it just as much as I ever have.

Emiliano Heyns authored a filter to create docx and odt documents that have "live" citations, i.e., citations that are linked to a Zotero database:

PSA for #Zotero users:
If you were using the "Zotero Scihub" addon, note that it was or will be disabled when you update to Zotero 7.
The replacement seems to be "SciPDF For Zotero" https://github.com/syt2/zotero-scipdf
Since a while, #Zotero is not able to fetch PDFs from Elsevier sites. I keep getting a captcha that never goes through 😬
