I'm with Zotero for about 2 weeks and I'm very much in love with it. I use it mainly to store and categorize downloaded Websites (SingelFile) and PDFs.

While a PDF viewer (and every functionality that comes with it) is greatly appreciated, I'd wish for same for html and other formats. That'd be overkill :)

One thing that I really miss and actual slows my process, is a proper tag-system. Something like Anki has: being able to make tag hierarchies by higher-tag::lower-tag. I'm a heavy tag-user and the overall experience with tags in Zotero is very average. But maybe I'm using this application for stuff that's not intended for.

Overall great project and surely something I'll donate a few bucks to the next time I'm on that spree. You guys doing gods work. Love it!



I suggest to store them on de-duplicated filesystem or manually run fdupes and co to hardlink any duplicate in your Zotero lib because most modern websites are full of big js and zotero copy them countless of time, if you have a non marginal set of mirrored pages you probably waste more than 60% of occupied storage just in duplicates...


I have to check my folders for that. Since I am using SingleFile for downloading websites, I get single HTML files (as the name of the program says) so there shouldn't be any JS included...
