Trying to setup LaTeX for either VSCode or Neovim and I'm in a bit of a predicament
The setup ended up being fully functional, with there being one small issue. The built-in pdf viewer is decent, but I find it lacking in customizability, so I decided to switch to sioyek (mind you I am on windows). Source: about 1 year ago

Researchers! What's your workflow for getting PDFs/research papers onto your Boox device?
The Zotfile plugin is a thing too if you don't want to pay for Zotero storage. You can use its 'send to tablet' feature to automate some of the pushing and pulling between Zotero and an Android tablet and extract the annotations. Here is a guide. Source: about 1 year ago
Tools for APA format (especially references) that actually work?
ZotFile is also an amazing PDF management add-on for Zotero. Source: about 1 year ago
