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.

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.

I used to use DEVONthink, but now I can’t seem to come up with any reason why just using files, the Finder and Spotlight should not have been sufficient.
