If you overlook some idiosyncrasies due to its main purpose (references), Zotero really shines as a bookmark manager. It is mature and has a lot of advanced features. The last one I discovered is enabling hierarchical tags with an addon. [1]

I still welcome any new well-built alternatives like Grimoire, and I agree with you that a first-class UI is important.

I’ve been really liking Zotero, but I don’t use it for webpage bookmarks outside of topics I’m researching. Maybe I should rethink that.


Are there any good apps that allow you to add bookmarks to zotero from a phone? For example, I would like to easily bookmark websites that I come across in a HN app. I found Zoo for Zotero but it is pretty clunky in this respect.
