Bookend TO Zotero one-way Sync? #1

Open iandol opened 3 years ago

iandol commented 3 years ago

As I understand it, you are doing a one-way zotero > bookends sync. Is it practical to do this the other way round, treat bookends as the "upstream" database, and mirror those changes to a zotero one? The use case is that I prefer to search/add/build references in bookends, but want to share them with others. Syncing to a zotero mirror would solve this.

Hi, this library will always only sync from Zotero to Bookends, because it plugs into https://github.com/retorquere/zotero-sync which only syncs this way. Have a look at https://github.com/cboulanger/bookends-api which works with an older Bookends API and is unsupported - you're welcome to update it!

There's an even older attempt to do the same thing, using a Web GUI: https://github.com/cboulanger/bibsync but this tried doing too many things at the same time and I cannot recommend to work with that code.

Great, thanks for the pointers.
