Hi PH 👋 I'm Tami. I'm researching Japanese diplomatic policy between South Africa. I built Stellar because I was tired of juggling 5 separate tools for one literature review. For sources, for notes, for coding, another for citation graphs, yet another for export. Nothing talked to anything. Stellar puts all of it in one local SQLite file. Library, Markdown editor with @cite, live citation graph, qualitative coding tools, clean Word/PDF/HTML export. No cloud. No genAI features. No subscription. MIT, free forever. JP/EN/FR/Afrikaans. And I'm looking for South African localizer/reviewer. Honest feedback is the reason I'm here. What would actually help your workflows?
