Zotero was key to finish my long delayed thesis, reducing the toil of managing a lot of references on a topic that I disliked more and more by the minute. Unfortunately back in the day they did not have yet the embedded PDF reader and highlighting features, but still was super helpful (I decided to stay away from Mendeley for license and affiliation reasons)

I still keep Zotero around for some projects that require more serious bibliography management. Glad to see advances in the note management direction, even if it is a add-on. While serviceable, the default note options always felt a bit rough to me.

Exactly the same for me, I'm forever grateful.

Same. Hearing Zotero brought back memories of undergrad for me. lol
