I’m using obsidian and Zotero as an academic workflow for my PhD.
There is a huge market for knowledge tools for students and academics, and universities, libraries and high schools often buy these tools in bulk to be a student resource.
I gather all my academic articles in Zotero and can cite them into my papers from Zotero > Obsidian > Pandoc Cite
I think your tool could be a great way to help me gather all the media around my research.
If you could tie into a citation workflow, into pandoc, you’d be on a big winner.
Look into how academics might want to go from your tool > obsidian > pandoc > word to generated cited references from your tool.
Actually better yet, take an immersive design approach, look into enrolling into a short degree by research, and as the uni resources you up on ‘how to do academic research’, polish your tool and pitch it to students and academics from the inside.
I didn’t know this before but if you have an undergrad, you can add a one year honours in research even at a different institution or a two year masters by research.
