Hello,  
until recently, I missed an option to look up entries of my JabRef database from my Smartphone. With new capabilities of AI, I created a html document that can parse my JabRef database and make it accessible from anywhere. I would like to share this small piece of software with you.

The simple HTML File is hosted on Github: [GitHub - teertinker/HTML-BibtexReader: BibTeX Reader for JabRef generated files](https://github.com/teertinker/HTML-BibtexReader)
