## What is this?

Intrigue lets you quickly organize the papers you read alongside your thoughts in a visual & clean manner.

Check out the [web demo](https://intrigue-app.github.io/?document=PC7uDb6ubL7f6CRwvJfsx), which also serves as a tutorial.

Features include:

* (v1.0+) **Offline-first distributed collaborative editing**. Create on Desktop, share to web. No central server, you keep and distribute your own data.

* (v1.0+) **Zotero Quick Copy translator** allows you to copy an item in Zotero, and paste it in a new Intrigue note to create a Reference. Upon double-clicking, it will lead you back to the item in Zotero. You can [**download the translator here**](https://github.com/shaunabanana/intrigue/releases/download/v1.0.0-alpha/Intrigue.js).

* Automatically pull metadata of **papers (using DOI), books (using ISBN), BibTeX, and web links** using [Citation.js](https://citation.js.org).

* Double clicking reference nodes takes you to a PDF at you-know-where.

* Full **WYSIWYG** markdown support in the notes, powered by [TipTap](https://www.tiptap.dev).

* Everything can be **grouped, snapped, and connected**.

* _COMING SOON: Import BibTeX files exported from a literature search or other tools like Zotero._

* _COMING SOON: Export papers into a BibTeX to directly use in your paper-writing process._

Here's a screenshot of my work-in-progress research canvas:

## How to use?

It's simple!

* **Create notes:** Double click to create a note.

  * Enter an DOI, ISBN, or URL into a note to have it automatically turned into a "reference note" (blue).

  * Double click the note again the edit. Or for a reference note, go to a site for PDF ;)

* **Snap notes:** Drag one note onto another to snap them together.

* **Connect notes:** Select a note, hold Command and click other notes to connect.

  * Click again to disconnect.

* **Pan canvas:** Hold space to pan the canvas.
