What it does

Written by AI from the README

Syncs highlighted words from Zotero annotations to a cloud word list in the Maimemo vocabulary app, appending or overwriting, filtered by annotation colour. It can also export the words as a TXT file for other vocabulary apps. Needs a Maimemo API token.

Vocabulary met while reading papers otherwise has to be retyped into a word-learning app. A fork of bulletproof-system/zotero-maimemo-sync; its README doesn't say what it changes.

Forks and copies

Fork of bulletproof-system/zotero-maimemo-sync.

1 other plugin uses the same ID as this one. Every Zotero plugin carries an ID, a name tag Zotero uses to tell plugins apart. These 2 plugins carry the same one, because people copied Zotero Maimemo Sync to make their own versions and kept its ID.Show what this means
  • You can only have one. Zotero sees them as the same plugin.
  • Installing another replaces it. If you install one of the others, it takes this one's place.
  • Check what you install. Several share this plugin's name, so make sure the file comes from the one you meant.
