How do you use Zotero effectively?

Hey all - I'm part of the team behind [Sublime](http://sublime.app), a PKM that involves zero double brackets, supertags, or knowledge graphs. Or as our members describe Sublime: * "A private knowledge tool and a public digital garden all-in-one" * "A second brain with a heart" * "A tasteful take on Pinterest for knowledge" * "Like a nicotine patch for quitting the infinite scroll" TLDR - We'd love to have the good people of r/PKMS try Sublime for free and let us know your thoughts. Sign up [here](http://sublime.app/join). LOTS of info for y'all below (I figure the more detail I can share the better? plz don't kill me) If you have any questions at all or thoughts or anything, please holler in the comments - we'll be around. **Some background** I've realized for my ADHD brain, what happens with most PKMs (and I have tried them all lol), I end up spending all my time organizing the systems and zero time actually collecting / connecting cool ideas. This is both not great and does not stop me from trying any new one that comes out - that's how strong the allure of 'all my knowledge perfectly organized finally' is. I know there's lots of people for whom these power PKM tools are amazing and life changing though so no shade at all to the Obsidian Roam Tana lovers out there - in fact mad respect to y'all for making those things work. But I also think that for some people here, the prospect of a tool that's super simple for saving, organizing, and discovering cool stuff might be appealing. **An invite to try Sublime** We're in invite-only beta right now with the goal of growing slowly, at the speed of trust, by extending invites to specific communities we think could dig Sublime and, most importantly, give us feedback to make the tool as awesome as possible.

I patched up tools like Airtable, Notion, Roam, and Apple Notes. None of them hit the mark. >I wanted something easy to use, without a steep learning curve or excessive customization. >Something that would let me capture anything from anywhere – highlights, links, images, videos, text – and show it to me in a way that makes sense. >Something purpose built to curate my knowledge library, without doubling as a to-do list, project management tool, or CRM system. >Something to help me connect ideas, not just collect them. >Something that feels equal parts personal and communal. >I had a spidey sense that combining the focus and intentionality of a personal knowledge management tool with the sense of aliveness and serendipity of a social space could be magical. >Building a product like Sublime would have been impossible without my [newsletter](https://sublimeinternet.substack.com/...
