In useAn estimate of how many copies of Zotero have it: Zotero downloads each new version once for every copy that has the plugin, so we count the downloads of its most-downloaded recent release. Rounded. Plugins that update from outside GitHub count low.
150
DownloadsAll-time downloads of its release files from GitHub, counting every update. Installs from elsewhere aren't counted.

What it does

Written by AI from the README

Publishes a Zotero note to Flomo, the note-taking service, from a right-click command, using your Flomo API URL. Works with ZotCard by converting card headings and label lines into Flomo tags.

Sends reading notes to Flomo without copying. Written for Zotero 6, so it is legacy. Documentation is in Chinese.
