Twitter, do you have a system for your reference library—construed broadly to include web articles, images, games, videos, etc—not just papers?
Note-taking software feels ill-suited to the purpose; academic reference library apps too heavy for this; webapps are all too slow; etc

Thank you for sharing, all! Reflections:
Many people suggested text-centric note-taking apps for this purpose. The interaction paradigm seems misaligned: I think of this need in terms of ubiquitous capture, seeing, connecting, searching, synthesizing, etc. Feels more like this.

For me, the use case needs low-latency capture and meandering, which means local copies of everything and native performance.
No one mentioned DEVONthink, though it's a big player in this category. Unfortunately, its UI. Keep It is a nice new alternative, but fairly barebones.

One common theme appeared to be that basically everyone was frustrated with their current solution! That's interesting.
Maybe it's hard to enter this market because everyone has very different conceptions of what they want from such a tool.
