It looks very interesting.

I have a knack for being too late to the party. Docear was extremely innovative and I was late to discover it. I was also late to Qiqqa but it seems it has been open sourced and undergoing a resurgence.

“The note editor is built on ProseMirror, a powerful open-source framework for building rich-text editors (used in Zotero’s sibling project, Tropy) that enables us to enhance notes with all sorts of Zotero-specific functionality. You can quickly jump back from annotations and citations in a note to the original location in the PDF or to the item in your library. You can edit a citation in a note using the same citation dialog used for the word processor plugins. If you accidentally delete or move the citation for an annotation, you can right-click on the annotation and instantly recreate the citation, helping you ensure your quotes are always properly attributed”
