I believe you are asking OP?

If you were asking me, this software is very minimal and not going to compete with zotero for an unknown time frame. What's your current need after using zotero? (Just curious)

That being said, I really appreciate these initiatives and applaud author of this library, didn't confirm but probably a one-person team.

No, I was asking you because you said you were going to implement it. I run zotero on two computers and sync them with unison -- but it just seems a bit fragile sometimes. I've corrupted the database once before and it was a hassle to restore. Sharing highlights from ipad back into the library is even more tricky: I sync the entire zotero folder (many gb, but only a portion of my ~200gb of pdfs) to rsync.net, and then sync specific folders through PDF viewer pro or whatever. Then my highlgihts sync to rsync.net, and then back to zotero.

The main benefit from zotero is automatic generation of metadata, renaming of pdfs, and syncing of highlights.

It just feels like a rube goldberg machine. I should actually just PAY 10 bucks a month for zotero unlimited itself.

Having a very rapid full text search functionality on top of all this is the dream. I haven't yet seen a super easy way to implement that beyond running elasticsearch, and that's a rabbithole I don't currently have the incentive to go down.
