Accelerate Your Research
# [Sophosia](https://github.com/sophosia/sophosia) Has Been Released！
Thank you all for supporting Reasearch Helper. In the year of 2023, I received many useful suggestions, and the beta version of the Research Helper had accomplished its goal, there will be no feature updates in the future. The new version, [Sophosia](https://github.com/sophosia/sophosia), will be the version with continuous support and updates. The main differences between the new version and the beta version are:
1. The new version removes the PouchDB database, all data is text-centric.
2. The new version uses Tauri instead of Electron.
There will be a few benefits:
1. By removing PouchDB, users can choose their favorite tools for cloud syncing.
2. Being text-centric allows users to choose their preferred text editor for note-taking, without worrying about data consistency between different softwares.
3. The new version becomes very lightweight (~15MB).
I hope everyone continues to support Sophosia!
