Hey #AcademicMastodon #PhDLife #postdoc #ScienceMastodon

I've been building a new, local-first library/citation manager (for fun). Zotero is great, but I've long wanted something more modern. I have a lot working: auto metadata hygiene, local LLM, full-text search, semantic similarity, plugins. But, I'm not a researcher!

I would love to talk to more academics who use these tools daily. I'm hoping to shape it into something you might use. DMs open if you'd be willing to chat & want a demo.

🌐 Bildung sollte für alle erreichbar sein!
Der heutige Global Accessibility Awareness Day erinnert daran, wie wichtig digitale Barrierefreiheit für echte Teilhabe ist. Sie macht Wissen zugänglicher, stärkt offene Bildung und hilft, Hürden abzubauen. Auch unsere twillo-Website ist vollständig barrierefrei gestaltet – ein wichtiger Schritt für Zugang.
