This is the kind of app I wish existed when I was at university - footnotes and bibliographies caused me so much pain! @cenk what inspired you to start solving this problem?

@abadesi Thanks for the kinds words, Abadesi! Basically, an app I was previously using for this (RefME) got shut down, and I was desperate for an alternative. The existing apps didn’t really fulfil my needs (too large, too complex, too ugly, etc.) so I built my own. I go into exhaustive detail in this post: https://blog.prototypr.io/on-cit...
