Before using Intrigue, you might consider using Snowball to find and screen relavant literature🔎

What is this?

Intrigue lets you quickly organize the papers you read alongside your thoughts in a visual & clean manner. Check out the web demo, which also serves as a tutorial.

Features include:

• (v1.0+) Offline-first distributed collaborative editing. Create on Desktop, share to web. No central server, you keep and distribute your own data.
• (v1.0+) Zotero Quick Copy translator allows you to copy an item in Zotero, and paste it in a new Intrigue note to create a Reference. Upon double-clicking, it will lead you back to the item in Zotero. You can download the translator here.
• Automatically pull metadata of papers (using DOI), books (using ISBN), BibTeX, and web links using Citation.js.
• Double clicking reference nodes takes you to a PDF at you-know-where.
• Full WYSIWYG markdown support in the notes, powered by TipTap.
• Everything can be grouped, snapped, and connected.
• COMING SOON: Import BibTeX files exported from a literature search or other tools like Zotero.
• COMING SOON: Export papers into a BibTeX to directly use in your paper-writing process.
