It'd be great if we could sync on a mission statement here. A vision statement too.

At Zenodotus, our mission is to revolutionize the document management experience through the development of a comprehensive environment coded in C++. We aspire to create a powerful platform that goes beyond conventional document handling, offering a suite of features designed to enhance the entire lifecycle of scholarly materials.

Zenodotus aims to be the go-to solution for individuals and professionals seeking a seamless way to interact with documents. Our commitment to excellence is reflected in our key features, which include the ability to read and annotate PDFs, extract bibliographic data from various sources such as PDF metadata and Google Scholar, and export data in multiple formats, including BibTex and LibreOffice.

We understand the importance of efficient library management, and Zenodotus is dedicated to providing a user-friendly interface for organizing and searching through your collection of PDFs. In addition, we strive to facilitate collaboration and knowledge-sharing by enabling peer-to-peer article and book sharing through platforms like Freenet, RetroShare, and Git.

Zenodotus takes privacy seriously, allowing users to remove digital watermarks before sharing documents and supporting the sharing of annotations. Our platform promotes networking by helping users connect with like-minded individuals or form workgroups based on shared interests.

Inspired by successful open-source projects like Mendeley, Zimwiki, Calibre, and Zotero, Zenodotus is committed to standing out as a unique and indispensable tool. We aim to seamlessly integrate features from various existing solutions, such as annotation management, metadata handling, and networking capabilities, to create a unified environment that supports different citation styles.

At Zenodotus, our mission is to empower individuals and communities in their scholarly pursuits, providing them with a comprehensive environment that simplifies document management, enhances collaboration, and fosters a deeper understanding of the knowledge shared within the academic community.
