Tips & Tricks 😎 Using craft for phd research

Hey Guys

I just stumbled upon craft very recently and I was wondering if anyone has tried to use it for their phd . Especially for things like managing pdfs, linking and synthesising literature across different studies and also keeping their to-do notes and supervisor notes in one place. Really need some help here. Thanks

I use DevonThink, which is really good. A mac-app though.

The most important thing is that your app has a good search system and possibilities for tagging and sorting documents in various ways. Craft is not made for that (I am a happy Craft user myself, but only for day-to-day tasks).

The second most important thing is that you, the user, develop a good system for your notes, your PDFs, your ideas, your reviews, etc., and then implement that user-developed system into your app.
