The Research Chaos
Researching a topic online often feels like assembling a puzzle where the pieces are scattered across 50 different domains. Keeping track of which statistic came from which article is a nightmare.
Traditionally, researchers use complex reference managers or giant, unmanageable spreadsheets.
The WebStickly Workflow
WebStickly offers a lightweight, frictionless alternative for the initial discovery phase of research:
- Annotate as you read: When you find a compelling quote in a journal article, hit
Alt + N, paste the quote, and add your own thoughts. - Tagging: Use simple hashtags in your sticky notes like
#thesisor#climate-data. - Search and Retrieve: When it is time to write, open the WebStickly popup, search for
#thesis, and instantly see a list of all your annotations and the exact URLs they belong to.
Stop losing your sources. Start pinning them.
