This looks really useful, but one thing I wish citation managers would consolidate around is a well-defined format for citation data, such as CSL-JSON [^1]. I have regretfully never seen CITATION.cff files anywhere else, but CSL-JSON seems to see concerted efforts from: * Zotero, with BetterBibTex plugin [^2] * pandoc, through its updated citeproc library [^3] * the citation plugin for Obsidian, which uses CSL-JSON [^4] This might in the end be my personal preference, but a standardized JSON format (which is just as easily adaptable to YAML [^5]) seems much easier to parse and modify than Bibtex, with its sheer complexity. If we want to have the ability to easily cite anything, then this direction of standardization, I believe, is a must. [^1]: https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema#csl-json-s...
