Current state, feature requests, future possibilities

Source management in Zotero, using BetterBibTex and ZotFile. Export metadata to Roam using custom exporters.

Possible future integration:

Inside Roam, use it as you normally would. For citations see previous tweet - that would be fantastic. Doing them in pandoc-format (so @citekey etc.) helps you down the line when exporting.

I wish there was some way to integrate with literate programming tools like RMarkdown or Jupyter notebooks. A native ggplot-like library for graphing inside Roam would also be _killer_.

For export, the first step is - as of right now - roam-tools.
Clean up the Markdown, then paste or get Latex generated.

After that, many options. Right now, I put things into RMarkdown files, add my tables and graphs, and then compile using Pandoc. But the setup for this is more finicky than many people are willing to tolerate.

Panwriter looks like a really great way to give cross-platform options to people. Only thing missing right now is a way to process citations. Hope that this can be implemented soon - that would make this the go-to solution for 90% of people.
