I have just read your comment on libreddit. It works fine for me. The only difference I could feel is that some pictures load more slowly.

I am planning for a while now to install Authentik / Authelia, but I always keep delaying it, as it sounds difficuld and more complex.

How much effort was it for you?

Hello,

I am also looking for something similar to this, and have to say that I have also not found it yet :/ But I will offer you my workflow, which comes as close as possible (to my knowledge)

1. Add source to Zotero with the Firefox addon
2. Organize, edit, read and annotate in Zotero (it has some great plugins and it comes with syncing, so its not only local)
3. Once read and annotated, export annotations as markdown into Obsidian vault. For this I highly recommend to use different colors for different markdown styles (I have some colors for headings, some colors for normal annotations, some for important annotations, etc. see this guide). Hit me up if you want to get my color formatting, I can send you my template.
4. Summarize the paper inside Obsidian at the top of the file
5. And then basically use the Zettelkasten method of organizing knowledge, forming it into concept notes when needed etc.

This is of course not as sweet as one single solution, but it works quite well for me. The best part is, when you export the Zotero annotations as markdown, it preserves zotero links inside the markdown file, which directly take you to the location of the quote in the PDF. This is really a game changer for me and lets me jump instantly back into a paper when I need it.

Here is an example of a markdown file after export. The headings are included and formatted automatically. The quotes are formatted as quotes and the note that I add to an annotation are also automatically added as clear text. This way I can include #tags even inside Zotero. And then you can see the links going directly into the right location of the zotero PDF.

I hope this helps, as it is actually quite a nice setup!
