    I found myself following up watching another video of yours with this one, which really piqued my interest because I love Bear, and I love hashtags for reading notes. My issue is that I want to save quotes from books as individual blocks (so Craft stronger) but also really need to use hashtags. In this case, I wonder if a document per quote would work? I struggle to find a way to make it all work. I wonder how you might handle this? If you're willing to share?

      That really hard to tell. One quote per document seems overkill to me. Find a way to group quotes on some organization principles: all quote for one article or book?

    Why you opted for Bear2, and not Obsidian or Logseq? These are open source projects, store files locally, and include the content of pdf documents in their search queries.

      Bear 2 is much simpler and approachable to me. Bear 2 can search text in images and I don't use PDF in my reading workflow. Thanks for asking.

      I found that Bear 2 Pro adds the functionality to find search terms in PDF's. It just will not directly link to the page.

    I am using a Craft as all-in-one application for research, and I was just think the same: try to separate the resource/reference management from Craft. Seeing your video, Bear 2 looks promising to me, particularly the web clipping and PDF search possibility, and tagging. Many of my resources, however, are youtube videos. Is it possible to embed youtube video, similarly the way it is possible in Craft? Integration of youtube transcript possibility would also be beneficial option to me. Thanks a lot for your Craft videos, BTW.

      I’m not aware if Bear can support video embeds. I would tend to think no.
