I'm looking to fix the hole that was, for a brief moment some years ago, filled by Mendeley for Android.
I see that Zotero now has a beta Android app, so the question is... do I get on board with that, or is there promise for Joplin to fulfill a significant portion of the functionality for small collections of literature? This would mean:
- Search within all PDFs in the database from the main app's search
- Bonus if this will eventually be possible on Android too
- Save/edit multiple types of PDF annotation (text boxes, highlight, underline) either within the app or by calling an external editor
- Sync the annotations between PDFs saved to PC and mobile
- Access/edit metadata (chapter name, author etc)
- Perhaps add a third type of item, so Joplin would now have Notes, Todos and Attachments (for example), making each PDF article become a "thing" in its own right, rather than being contained within a note
