Software

Mac Power Users forum on Zotero 6. Looks like some features are desktop only so iOS users are out of luck.

Remnote

Some questions about import/paste from Word to RemNote.

At least one user is having issues with import.

There is also a report of tagging breaking the layout of RemNote

Readwise logseq plugin has begun development.

Craft

If you have recommendations for learning typescript or react then maybe drop them in the Craft forum to help other devs build extensions.
