   The best research tool

   Qiqqa is by far the strongest solution for research and managing pdf's. Zotero, named as a comparison is weak as it does not allow pdf;s to be loaded into its interface - you need to use a pdf reader, which defeats its whole purpose. With Qiqqa documents in a library can be searched together. It has excellent maps of your libraries. It is not prefect, having a few glitches, but still is the only one of its kind.

   👍 Pros:    Excellent ocr and search|Multiple libraries|Search within a library|Still supported

   👎 Cons:    Can be a bit glitchy|Can slow down of stop responding|Appears to need a lot of memory|Support can be a bit slow / technical

• Startup to add likes and upvotes on any context?

  Https://web.hypothes.is/ already exists for collaborative commentary on practically anything web based. So there is a market of sorts. Source: 10 months ago

• Annotating emails?

  Not native to Gmail, but there are some tools that allow notes and comments on web pages as an extension. https://web.hypothes.is/ does this and is open source (if that matters to you). Source: 10 months ago
