- (2023-02-16) Erdélyi Innovaciós Műhely: Long story short: Amazing. As a curation scientist, I highly recommend it to everyone who works with large amounts of data. As a community builder, I would say: This makes it easier to detect our students' redundant typo-s. As a researcher: Your bookmark gonna look like Mendeley, Grammarly, Readlayer soon. PDF highlight is the coolest feature without a doubt. No additional comment on that ;). The support team is fantastic. contradictory: It definitely deserves a better logo.
