Lettera for Academic writing

Lettera

I also posted this in Bear’s sub on Reddit but this space is more appropriate:

I am chiming in as an academic writer: I am really excited about Lettera and installed the beta immediately. I use Bear for absolutely everything (can I just express my love for the tagging system and just how absolutely beautiful the app is - nothing competes imho!).

I have been looking for an editor for files and folders on my disk to extend Bear but nothing has gelled with me the way Bear does. So Lettera could be just the thing I was looking for.

Some things that would make Lettera my dream long-form (academic) writing app for research papers and books:

  1. Zotero integration (Zettlr style); Zotero Integration - Zettlr User Manual

  2. being able to open several panes in the app alongside each other (I love that we get to have tabs already, but side-by-side viewing would be great too);

  3. version control (which I guess we would have if we sync our files with some cloud service / NAS that has version control, but something in the app would be intuitive (like the snapshot that Scrivener has);

  4. a sidebar that shows (foot)notes & comments running along the document (like Scrivener / Ulysses). This gives a much better overview compared to footnotes at the bottom of the page.

You probably mean access to a loaded bibtex.file to create notes but foremost citations?

[Edit]The answer is already given in the link. I was to quick with my question :roll_eyes:

Indeed! And I gave Zotero as an example but it could of course work with any reference manager that supports this :+1:
