Researchers waste time manually converting between paper formats when managing academic citations

Academic researchers using Zotero spend significant time manually downloading papers from arXiv and then separately fetching the HTML-rendered versions (arXiv Vanity) for better readability, creating friction in their research workflow. Current citation management tools don't automate this multi-step process, forcing researchers to context-switch between tools and manually manage duplicate files. This repetitive task compounds across hundreds of papers in a researcher's library, creating cumulative time waste.
