C²DH | Data Science Developer | Luxembourg | ONSITE | FULL-TIME | https://c2dh.uni.lu

C²DH is creating an open-source platform to help humanities scholars collect, analyze, and visualize their research. Building on Jupyter notebooks and a wide range of Python modules for data analysis, this platform enables novice researchers to develop research workflows.

We're looking for a full-time developer to join our friendly team. You'll primarily be working on our free and open-source data orchestration software Kiara (https://github.com/DHARPA-Project/kiara), which serves as a backend for Lumy, our new Electron-based platform for humanities research (https://github.com/DHARPA-Project/lumy). We're especially interested in candidates who have experience with Python for software development; data science / data engineering (data orchestration, Jupyter / Jupyter extensions, Apache Arrow, pandas / NumPy); and JavaScript for software development (ideally including Typescript). You'll also be able to work in other areas that interest you most, like UI/UX, machine learning, virtualization, and data modeling, as we explore how software shapes research questions.

Tropy | JS Developer | Full-Time | Remote | https://tropy.org

We’re looking to hire a developer to join our team building open-source software for researchers. If you love the APGL and are good at JavaScript, come work with us on Tropy, a beautiful Electron app built with React, SQLite, and WebGL. Tropy is not out to disrupt industries, transform markets, or change the world: it simply wants to be an elegant solution for historical research.

The Tropy team is based in Vienna, Paris, and DC; the project is hosted by the Roy Rosenzweig Center for History and New Media, which also created Zotero and Omeka. We are a small, progressive team and we like to get stuff done without any bureaucratic overhead; everyone around here adds their own unique voice, and you might learn unexpected things about the slurve, labyrinths, 90s TV trivia, or Cuban coffee.

Sure! Zotero has been available as a standalone application for several years (and even when it only ran within Firefox in the early days, it was still a local application): http://www.zotero.org/download/

Zotero retrieves PDF metadata using a Google Scholar lookup, a method that Mendeley later adopted: http://www.zotero.org/support/retrieve_pdf_metadata

This process can also be applied to a watch folder using the third-party add-on ZotFile (Zotero supports extensions): http://www.columbia.edu/~jpl2136/zotfile.html

Zotero has always allowed all kinds of searching of metadata and content: http://www.zotero.org/support/searching

Zotero also includes notes (and these notes can be pulled from PDF annotations using ZotFile): http://www.zotero.org/support/notes

You might think a lot of things, but your description of Zotero is completely inaccurate. Zotero isn't a browser-based application, and it can do everything you describe.
