How do people organize their reading? Perennially frustrated by this. I want one system that lets me trivially add books, papers, webpages, etc, re-organize very easily, search & filter. What works for you?

That's really interesting. Is it public anywhere?
Is there a sort of common use case you can describe in detail? Do you go back and consult the list of all papers?

attached is my list of papers that is automatically updated as I create new "tiddlers" for each paper, as well as the "code" for the tiddler to autogenerate this list (I have toyed around with this being automatic, but I like to manually do it as a mental check as well).pic.twitter.com/fMLoURmHCg

Here is what a paper looks like in my TW. If a paper has 5 stars, it gets a red star on my papers of interest tiddler. The [pdf] link is autogenerated and points to a directory on my machine with the actual pdf of the paper.pic.twitter.com/uKkG09ux20

My favorite feature is the "last touched". I sort by this so that when I come across a paper I haven't read yet, I "touch" it using the calendar button which "floats" it to the top of my reading list. As I add new papers that are "touched" after it, it naturally fades away.

Nice trick.

If you're interested or would like more detail I'd be happy to setup a demo TiddlyWiki with all of my customizations for you to try. I'd also be happy to answer any questions you might have about
@TiddlyWiki. After trying nearly every other paper/file manager out there I love it! -
Thanks! I won't ask you to do that yet, but may get back to you. I'm getting a tonne of amazing suggestions from so many people, it'll take a while to sort through them.
