I built my wife a tool to survive her PhD and thought other researchers might want it too. Zotero's essential for citations, but she was struggling to know what to read next versus what she'd already read. Paperstack is basically Goodreads for academic papers. Import from Zotero, sort by stack and tag, achieve calm. https://paperstack.ac #AcademicMastodon #Academia #PhD #Zotero

    @lown I'm only interested if I can use it to leave 1-star reviews on my academic nemeses papers

    @lown this might be a silly question but do you have to be an academic to use it? Like I am autistic and enjoy researching things I'm interested in in my spare time

    @lown I don't think anyone has ever achieved calm while doing a phd

    @lown I love this idea. Thanks for building (and doubly so for sharing). Do you have an API to post DOIs docs titles to and retrieve a personalized reading list (and recos)? I’d love to run this from my neovim telekasten setup (and sure other people would lurv it for obsidian or org-roam…). That would be totally aces (tho def think zotero was a good first step…) (Out of curiosity, what’s the backend in?)

    @lown this looks cool, i'm kind of confused why you couldnt just use three zotero collections (to read, reading, read) though? is the UX just a bit bad or is there any feature-based reason

    There is also a zotero plugin https://github.com/Dominic-DallOsto/zotero-reading-list
